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
