Mini Update :space: I got the battery charged up again, started it up today and it didn't die when I shifted into 1st. So I went for a short ride (didn't wanna go too long with the broken mounting bolt on the slave) and I was perfectly able to shift through all of the gears. I have already ordered the replacement slave (not sure if it comes with new bolts tho) and I got an extraction kit for the stuck threads.
Should I replace the slave with the new one just so everything in the system (except the hose) is new, or keep it for when/if the original slave does fail?
Either way, it was great to ride around for a little bit!
I doubt your Replacement Slave Cylinder comes with New Bolts, so you'll need to get new. :space: With the broken one,...is there anything sticking out past the edge of the Engine Case? Do you have any Penetrating Oil?
I actually haven't checked out the bolt since I snapped it so I'm not sure to what extent it's sticking out from the engine case. I do not have penetrating oil tho
If you can,...might you snap a picture of what remains? :space: There might be an easy way to extract it. :space: Penetrating Oil is not expensive and is a "Must Have" when owning an older motorcycle. :space: (don't ask me how I know this :uhh: )

I missed this bit.

You should get onto this pretty quick - having the slave attached only with one bolt is not a good idea for any length of time.

You should always have a can of liquid wrench penetrating oil in the garage.
If you have any type of electrical issue, have your battery load tested before you do anything else. Any auto parts store will test it for free.

I prefer the PB Blaster, but I also have Liquid Wrench and WD40...
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Final Update:

Well I got the replacement slave installed, got a C clamp to help with bleeding. She's back on the road and operating perfectly. Thank you for everyone's advice and help, it is very much appreciated!

It was actually sticking out enough for me to sneak some needle noses in and twist it free!
