Erle, have you tried this on a motor that has as much vibration as the triumph motor?
No.
I've used this exact routine on my dirt bikes header studs that have broken off a piece of casting JUST LIKE what your pic shows, from smashing the header/muffler against Mother Earth and her Appurtenances . After the fix, they "hit the ground" (or fence/trees/etc.) almost EVERY time we ride! (Yeah, I'm NOT as good as I used to be). I'm sure they're exposed to more stresses then a street bikes vibration (EVEN Sportsters  ).
The Simpson epoxy is MOST often used in commercial building construction to retro-fit missing/misplaced reinforcing steel into foundations, slabs, columns that will be subj. to extreme tension (uplift, foundation movement/pull out, etc.)
If you tried to pull that epoxied stud out of that head after it's cured, you'll pull a BIG chunk out of the head, before that stuff lets go. Pay attention to the "One try only" comment!
I've also "Buttered over" the brittle, plastic carb. thingy that breaks EVERY TIME when cleaning the Ethanol ****** out of them. EVERY single piece to those carbs can be ordered, EXCEPT that little piece, and the plastic slide caps. Since those carbs are SO RARE, They are over $300 each, so Jerry-rigging is a MOST!
And you may see me tonight
