[hogfisch]

Hi all,

I have a trackday next week and have located some cheap trackday fairing (thanks to all those who mailed me with offers of gear BTW).

I have to change the screens around and notice that the screws are very fine torx style. Does anyone know where I can get a tool to do these (by the weekend)?

Cheers

Hog

should be one in your bikes tool kit

Think you will find it's a T7 (size).... if the tool is missing from your kit try e-bay or local motorists discount shop.

Well I just checked and bugger me! That I never knew. Cheers Keefer!

Be careful of the one in the tool kit as its a bit cheap and chearful so its easy to round off the screws -better to buy a proper one from a tool supplier as the screws are loads of money to replace

[antonye]

Just replace them with a kit from Pro-Bolt which uses a 3mm allen instead - yours for £12 or thereabouts and look miles better!

Or you could buy mine:

But don't use that tool in the kit too often: they're not very good, and there's guys on ebay selling a very good screwdriver that works very well (assuming you get the wellnut undone anyway).
