125-200cc how can I fix/replace the gas tank bolt post?

I broke the gas tank bolt on my 2009 bike and in my attempt to extract it... I broke the extractor off. To make a long story short, I've pretty much ruined the OEM post and need to replace it.

Does someone sell a pre-threaded post I can weld onto the frame? Or will I need to buy a solid post, weld it on and then tap new threads?

Or if anyone happen to have an easier solution I am all ears. thanks!

The older husky like 2006 to maybe 2008 have the longer post where the gas tank bolt last longer Then the newer ones where the post is shorter and then you have a spacer and a longer bolt that brakes a lot


So what you can do is get a regular grade 5 bolt grade 8 is to hard to tap Get a long bolt about the size of your now post cut the bolt to size needed weld it on then drill it and tap it i now get a new gas tank bolt put it on and you are done.


I like to tack the center bolt to the frame put on the tank make sure all is centered then remove tank and weld the new post easy and cheap

Suggest if you use this method to tap the new bolt/post before welding; maybe get someone with a metal lathe to drill it and do it for you nice and tidy. Then anti- seize compound on the new threads and put a bolt in there to protect the new threads until you are finished.

Nice idea! I'm sure a grade 5 bolt is much cheaper and easier to find than an actual post. And since its hidden under the tank it doesn't matter what it looks like.

Now I just gotta get off my ass and do it!

Nice call! That would actually take some abuse too.
Either method would be dirt cheap
