Hey guys,
Before true winter hit, I hit some ice and slid out. I was going really slow so damage was minimal to the bike and I was totally fine. But there is one lingering issue.
The thread for the bolt that holds the shifter in place are stripped. I believe that this is from the shifter being bent and thus torquing on thread / bolt and slowly stripping it out. The bolt sits in still, but when I shift it slowly works its way out. Have any of you ever dealt with this? If so, have you been able to re-tap the thread or is it necessary to replace the primary cover?
Any info / recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Time-cert.
Before you're all done, make sure the boss (machined surface) is square or the shifter bolt sleeve will be cocked and the shifter will bind
Thanks for the info guys, should have her up and going in a couple weeks.
