Broken Handlebar Knob Stud In Handlebar
[quote][/quote]I have a broken handle bar knob stud broken inside the right handlebar.

It is far enough inside the handlebar that it prevents the use of a replacement knob from tightening the handle bar to the triple tree.

Is that removable?
The broken is deep enough within the handlebar to make getting at is very difficult

Or is a new handle bar the only way to go?

Yep, it's removable, but it's a tough job of trial and error - depending on the amount of rust and tightening torque.
I'm afraid you'd give up already if I'd list all the tools I used for this job. :D
Easy way? Grind off and replace. But what's the fun in that?

I manage to carefully drill my one out and run a tap into it.
