I think the pullers are as low as 20 bux. If you use the axle you may bend it. Some guys use a bolt but end must be squared up. Why is the cylinder and head still attached?
I'm betting your bike has a motor in the low twenty thousands, correct? The head appears sandcast, and has the boss for the extra head bolt, but it's before they started actually drilling/tapping them.

It is low 20k, but it was my understanding that sandcast only went up to about 7,500 or so.. Either way this bike is special to me and I just want to feel her ride again! Makes me sad I haven't had the resources to get her running as quickly as I'd like. Fortunately my 83 shadow is holding steady as my solid everyday rider.
Start looking at. It like this shop time is 65.00 an hour or a lot more.. Sooo buying the odd tool for 20 bux.. (That you will probably use again).. Is going to be a worthwhile investment.. I think all heads are sandcast till at least in of K2, if not further..and the hole is drilled, not tapped.
I noted the casting info on the heads, so you are saying approx 14,9 -22, have an undrilled boss that could be cut for the hole?
Where exactly is this extra bolt hole you speak of? I find this interesting, I always thought the heads looked to be a different casting, but I know little of casting in general.. Good info guys, thanks!
After you torqued it up, strike it with a hammer. Hat is why I hate the axle idea. Zero runout on crank, well maybe a thou or two. Now that rotor is off use an elastic or something to hold a pencil or straw, and see if you have visible runout.
