Thanks for the advice. I got it out yesterday with a screw extractor.
First I sprayed it with penatrating oil and let it sit over night.

I'm glad that you finally got it out. I bet that you worried about it
quite a lot. Now--you don't have to worry about it anymore.

It must not of been in that tight.
1)First I sprayed it with penatrating oil..let sit over night.
2) Next day, I slightly tapped it a few times with a sharp nail
driver/punch. This was to make a dimple in the center of the busted
off bolt. A guy at the hardware store said this would keep the bit
from "walking" to the sides and messing up the threads.
3) I drilled it down about this deep __ with a 5/64" drill bit. I
then attached the #1 screw extractor to a small T handled tap wrench.
Started twisting it slowly counterclockwise. It came out very easily.
One note: I covered the area the best I could to keep out small metal
shavings, that was the hardest part. It was windy out and a real pain
in the ***.
Again thanks everyone! Time to ride

For future reference, you can use a blob of grease (or shaving cream,
depending on which will cause less trouble where you are working) to control
the shavings. Put the blob on the area and drill through it. Our asbestos
abatement guys even use shaving cream for drilling asbestos-contailing floor
tiles!

Mike,
That appears to be good advice. I only wish that I had known that secret
when I once done backyard mechanical work on various types of cars.
