if you think fairing bolts are bad you should try the float bowl screws on a mikuni carb, not only are they japanese standard (JIS) heads, they're so soft you can actually squish them with a pair of pliers

do the japs have plastic tools?

arr got him out!!!! why it wouldnt budge i dont know? why do the easy jobs always turn out difficult?

the offending rubbish OE part-


fixed with a good old proppa bolt!!

So what method did you use Kwak?

i cut a slot in it with a dremel and used a screwdriver with a spanner on for leverage

ummmm somebody once tightened the air filter in so tight, that my ickle hands couldn't undo it....I had to get nasty with a dremel, and cut a slot for a flat head.

were yours made out of Philadelphia Kwak?

they were! ruddy rubbish! bad really for a 18month old bike with only 3k on the clock.
