Yep, they only inconvenience the owners, who discover after taking their bike to bits that they can't get the part they need off, and now they can't ride to Halfords either ****ing pointless things. Easier to damage than an allen head too. I hates em...

I replaced mine with standard allen head bolts, a thief is gonna pick your bike up a throw it in the back of a van anyway so the type of bolt isn't really applicable.

Famous last words! I hope you were touching wood when you said that


Pete's '10 minute jobs' usually turn into several hours of swearing and me conspicuous by my abscence

Pete did it with the fairing in place but used several quarter inch drive extensions and went up from underneath (oo-er!)

Good job you haven't cut your fingers...............my plasters are no good to you sat here

When I did mine, I think I disconnected the lock from the loom, I definately ended up with the yoke upside down on the forks to brace it, and I used a soldering gun to add heat to the bolts before using an impact driver to shift them. They still put up a fight.

Is the yoke screwed to the clip-ons from underneath, some are but not sure about SV ones.

Curvy ones use locator bolts, you'll need to undo these, or undo the clipon pinch bolts too.
Then it might need a bit of a tap to get it to shift.
