One way to do this, if you have the room and are handy with a welder is to weld a nut to the top of the bolt, let it cool, then put your wrench on that to turn it out. You will have to buy a new bolt obviously, but whatever works. A wire feed welder works the best, with gas shield instead of flux-core; be sure to cover everything you don't want sparks on or heat for that matter; I sometimes use wet rags to protect paint and perishables.
Good luck;
Regards and such,

Ok, went to remove my exhaust nuts and the rear exhaust nut closest to the cylinder of course is rounded (inside), there are no edges for the allen key to grab. Ive tried heating etc with no results. I had to buy an over the nut easy out for the others, but there is no room for this to slip over the nutas it's to close to the rear cylinder.

I need help!!!!!!!!!!

Just one of the little(big) things to watch out for when buying your used motorcycle....check the nuts to make sure they are not rounded, could cause problems for you down the line
