Rubbermount_EFI Stripped bolts Clutch inspection cover.

Yup. Bought the bike used and have encountered a few of these along the way. Luckily not in something I'm to worried about so I just drilled them out with ease or vise gripped those suckers. Mostly worried about damaging the casing I guess. But yes, it dose add a few more hrs to a project. That means more beer to........

have you tried one of those hammer impacts?

the type you have to actually hit with a hammer?

I used to have to use them a lot when i rebuilt vintage hondas

Use the bolt extractor kit as a LAST resort. Which is what I had to do. Torx suck on that cover, I torqued them to the recommended tightness and they still want to strip. I will definitely be exploring other options to replace them. Ironically enough I as well have an 07 custom.

i had the same problem about two months ago what i did was drill the head off so i could pop the cover off and then backed out the remaining threads with a vise grip but whatever you do take you time and dont get to frustrated thats when everything screws up

i also replaced the torx heads which strip out even when torqued correctly with chrome allen head bolts (pan head style) which you can torque with no problems

this is the thing
