Hi All
My exhaust studs are rusty. The front on the engine could be doing with a bit of TLC and repainting. I'd like to deal with both, but as the bike is running well as is, I wonder if I start on doing these taks I'm opening a can of worms and potentially an engine needing removed in order to remove snapped studs.

The middle two sets of studs are more rusted.
I really like the bike.
And yes, whoever mounted them overtightened the studs so that the plates holding the headers on are bent!! Some folk eh! :-s
What would you do?
