So when I went to clean out my carbs I discovered that the drain bolt on my right hand side float bowl was stripped. Not only was the bolt stripped but it was rusted to the point of no return.

-Definitely can't remove with screw driver/impact driver
-pliers won't work, not enough to grab
-not enough to slot with dremel

So that leaves me with two options as far as I can tell.
-drill out and retap (I already have a tap and drill bit. Not really that important as far as i can tell considering its just a drain bolt.)
-replace the bowl.

I would prefer to replace the bowl, assuming its not $$$$. When I went on bikebandit etc for parts they don't have the bowl listed. Its not numbered etc. Does anyone know of a good/cheap place to pickup a float bowl? If not, I could always try a stealership... but thats last resort.... after I attempt a drill/tap/.15 cent bolt solution.

I will sell you one ... lets say $5 and ship. BTW no gasket in mine, atleast not one that can be used ... atleast not one I will guarantee will work ...
Cool.

oh nice... that was fast. Consider it off your hands as long as the drain bolt comes out. 

Lemme know how much to ship. Probably an easy fit in a USPS envelope. Also there is really no rush. I have finals in two weeks and won't be home to work on the bike anytime soon.

paypal?

I don't think so.  I believe that, like the piston guide, it's not available individually.
