Evening

Had to remove the "flyscreen" for want of a better description from my XB12s Lightning to fit some brighter bulbs and a new tacho fascia.

As they were "corroded" in I had to cut some slots to remove, than as the allen/torx key, can't remember which I used now rounded off the edges as there seems to be a mix of both on the bike.

Tried both M5,too small, and M6, too large, replacement bolts with little success, currently held in with M5 and a good layer of PTFE tape but not ideal.

Are the bolts imperial and any idea where I can get get some from?

Thanks

Andy :headbang:

Not had to pull an XB apart yet, but it can't be more fun than working on a tube frame, they are a mix of everything under the sun. Certainly taught me a lot about Imperial/ metric/ pitch/ fine/ coarse/ torx/ etc.... :D
