Heli Coil are typically a wound spring that replace the threads in a stripped hole. The Spark Plug repair kits, even the ones from Heli Coil, contain the solid insert type repair sleeve. They are easier to install and a much stronger than the original alum material. They require no drilling; unlike the coil spring style, and are staked into place so there is no "drive tail" to break off. I have used them to save several heads. Never had a problem. Any parts house should carry them. I get mine at Bumper to Bumper locally here.

Has anyone put one in there bikes?? If so where did you get it from?? I would just put a heli-coil in but my machine shop buddie says that a inserts would be the best for along term fix.
Thanks for any help
