My hex bolts that hold the front mirrors on are stripped. All 4 of them pretty much. Not the bolts themselves, but the metal i screw them into.

What do i do now?

 

i really really really don't wanna buy a new one because it'll take forever to install it. not to mention it's 80 bucks...

 

get a cut off tool or a small sharp edged grider Notch the bolts and take them out with a screw driver or you could try drilling them out.. which is a pain!

 

also if you need new fairing stays i have a set off my other bike that are in excellent condition

 

ebay usually has cheap upper stays.

 

nah my fairings are good, thanks... i just need to install some flush mounts. can i install hotbodies in the front without taking off the fairing? i really don't wanna go thru all this if i don't have too...

 

This is why i have a set of ease outs and and set of taps. So when the bolts break or the threads strip. I can get the bolts out and/or i can re-tap the threads....Makes life soo much easier when dealing with things like that....=-)

Broke and stripped a screw on my 929 gas tank. This is why i made the investment of the ease out and the taps....=-)

 

The faring stay is what you screw the bolts in to. Why not drill them out and just put a bolt through it with a nut?
