Hello everyone I had a rear shock bolt break in the frame on my 2000 big dog bulldog has anyone had this happen to them and how did you remove the broken bolt any advice would help. I just wondered if there is a tool to get it out without cutting the plate off. Can’t afford to take bike to a shop waiting to see if insurance will pay for it. I hit a pothole

Your bike has the hidden shocks underneath? Take a picture and post it so we can see what you are dealing with. I had a rear shock bolt break on my 2000 vintage sport but I don’t think we have the same setup.

Just need to weld a knot far enough out to get a nut on it and then weld the nut...whoever's does it for you needs to take there time and not let the weld get on the threads...it can be done...it may take 30 nuts but it can he done.
And I would also change all 4 bolts cause if one broke others maybe be stressed cracked and about to break because of what happened

Damn that’s a pisser right there. Tough spot to work in no matter what. Probably red loctite did it. Did you heat it up or WD40 before hand? If you remove the others make sure you do. I’m gonna have to agree with Knot on this one. Not alot of options there.
I put Progressive on mine. Depends on the year and model.
I think Barnes Performance still has a couple of sets left in stock. I also have progressive on my Texas Chopper.
dont know how many space to work you have there.
if you have space enough use a left hand drill in 90 degree drill machine.
rust remover spray before is helpful if you wanna try with hammer and screwdriver.
Maybe can weld a screwmother on the broken bolt and screw it out.
A pic would be helpful fo find best way bring it out.
