Heh, I had exactly the same problem with those rounding out.

So I thought about it, and came to the conclusion that because they were sheer bolts, if I gave the mirror a gentle tap it should break the bolt and I can pull the mirror off.

So I did.

I ended up with a broken fairing stay instead.

Bolt was fine though.

no comment, Freak said much the same... they are sheer bolts, give em a wack and bobs your mums brother....

yeah right! one broken mirror later.... still attached to nosecone

i managed to undo the fairing bracket and take the whole nosecone off and drill it like that...not a good day!

Before you get the drill out, try knocking a torx bit in to the rounded out hex recess. Works 8/10 time for me even on bigger REALLY tight bolts. I don't drill many................

Ah my favourite - the chisel method! Saved many a potential driller on the 600 that did.

Rev - we have met at the Rocky Track Attack last year when I extracted money out of everyone for the prize draw. You should try to make it to the pubnights as we get a good crowd. See the DSC Essex website for details.
