Hey R50 people! You might have seen my posts on Facebook groups or instagram, but I also wanted to be present here as I've enjoyed browsing this forum numbers of time. Those of you who don't know me, I'm based in Vancouver BC Canada and I created a sweet roof rack for all R50 models. I was inspired by Prinsu obviously and since there are no aftermarket solutions for R50 I decided to make my own rack. Please check out some details, information, manual and more photos at my google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14yxt2aZX2_KDKsw74M9Ft5XpMms7hF-H?usp=sharing Let me know if you have any questions! I've sold a few already so you might start seeing those racks on R50s! Thanks! Pawel

SUCCESS, ladies and gents! Long story short, I think hammering on the m/c is what did it... The extended version, I used a conical grinding bit on the rotary tool, to dig enough of a groove to get some blows in with the chisel. (Never got close enough to the threads to make a "seam" there). Was getting frustrated at it still not coming loose, turned my attention back to hammering on the m/c from the inside, peeked my head back around and saw that there was more clearance now at the top stud! Then gave it a yank, and voila! Thanks again for all your help and suggested approaches!
