TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to let you know that my old R100GS is back among the living thanks to your kit! I was very impressed by the quality of the components and the simple design. Despite my best efforts to the contrary, the repair was a success and the bike is happily sporting a fresh coat of dried mud again.  Thanks."

“My 90 R100GSPD had a cylinder head stud that started to pull out during my last valve adjust at about 78K on the bike. DAMN!!!! The thoughts of Helicoils and assorted fixes started dancing through my head. Then I read Oak's article in the June 2008 Airmail about stripped stud repair. He mentioned a company in Colorado—HPD—that he had been working with to develop a tool package for repair of stripped cylinder head studs.

“I emailed the company and got in touch with Bill Hollander to inquire about the tool. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about the tool. A stripped stud on his own R100GS lead to the development of the tool. He convinced me it was the way to go. My mechanical abilities—enough to keep me out of deep doodoo—and the price of the tool said go for it. It was cheaper than sending the GS out for repair.

“I followed the instructions carefully and took my sweet time. The tool produced a superior result with my fair skill level. The HPD insert is made of a much higher strength aluminum alloy than the cast aluminum crankcase. It also has a much longer thread engagement length. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the results.”
