You want some advice Brent?

Ok, don't do that again and put some Captain Morgan in with that Pepsi.    :chugbeer:

That, quite possibly could be what caused the bolt issue. ;)

Never had an issue getting out any of my bolts, and a good quality bit makes all the difference. Put some anti-seize on the bolts after removal, shouldn't have any more issues........and don't over-tighten. ::)

You guys just might be proud of me. I ordered new bolts and washers for my stripped bolt. Then I went to work. Drilling, drilling, drilling, finally broke through the back side. After busting drill bit after drill bit. No worries, there's nothing behind this bolt. Finally got my remover locked in good, and used vice grips.



Then went to home depot and matched up the threads, 6mm by the way with a nice 3" bolt with the same pitch. Ran it through a few times to get the threads good. Then bought some anti seize and set my bolt right. Got the cover back on. Granted when I was pissed about it stripping earlier in this thread I had some issues with the drill falling off and causing some scratches that I will fix up when I find my touch up paint, but the cover is back on.
yay.

Congratz. I still feel the OEM bolts / screws are low quality given the results I have found with allen head sockets and use of a torque wrench.

Back from Florida and in the bay area for a few weeks and did a short ride on my 2008.

Only had to add 6 psi in the tires and use the battery tender and she fired up .... and rode great after 6+ months garage storage. (sad I am leaving again in a few weeks)
