I t is useless because the hex bit spins freely in the head. A mechanic friend told me I could force a larger size torx bit in there and chew it up. He said it has worked, but the bit and bolt will be throw-aways after that. ut no biggie since I will be tossing all 4 bolts anyways. Anyone ever try this method?   Logged     08 Road Star S 16\" Kong Bars Shark Fin Freedom True Duals Reckless Bluetooth Fairing CV   The administrator has disabled public write access. #515316 Jonesie05 (User) Call/TXT if you would like 419-890-8783..verizon Platinum Boarder Posts: 1446 Re:Floorboard Extensions and where to buy? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I have done the larger size socket/bit thing many times with all different types of fasteners. I usually take a little hand held torch and try to heat the head of the bolt first and then hammer the bit/socket onto the bolt. Then make sure to apply firm steady pressure to get it out. Or you could go to sears, take one of the bolts with you and get a bolt extractor that fits snug over the head of the allen bolt. This will dig into the bolt and give you a fighting chance of getting it out. Can even try the heating method before putting the extractor onto the bolt. Heat is always a great thing when it comes to bolts. A little goes a long way...,.   Logged     HARLEY BAG AND FAIRING BRACKETS NOW AVAILABLE ORDER YOUR BAGGER BRACKETS HERE My Road* Pics My roadie loves the road   The administrator has disabled public write access. #515356 yinzguys (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 339 Re:Floorboard Extensions and where to buy? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   thanks for the help gentleman.   Logged     08 Road Star S 16\" Kong Bars Shark Fin Freedom True Duals Reckless Bluetooth Fairing CV   The administrator has disabled public write access. #515452 Jonesie05 (User) Call/TXT if you would like 419-890-8783..verizon Platinum Boarder Posts: 1446 Re:Floorboard Extensions and where to buy? 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Just put a set of Lightning floorboard extensions on my bike!!!!! Man o Man what a difference. Were very easy to install. Just had to take the factory clamps for the rear brake line loose and use zip ties. Adjust the shift linkage and voila! Guy that I got the bike from had the set in the box of factory parts he gave me and I don't know why he did't put them on..... If I didn't already have them I was going to make a set. A much more comfortable ride!   Logged     HARLEY BAG AND FAIRING BRACKETS NOW AVAILABLE ORDER YOUR BAGGER BRACKETS HERE My Road* Pics My roadie loves the road   The administrator has disabled public write access. #515481 Rev.
