Got the wheel off and on the ground. Can't get the allen head bolts out. I have compared it with the new ones which appear to have standard right hand threads. The allen head socket already looked tweeaked, and had to tap allen wrench in to get it to seat. BUT THE DING_DONG THINGS WILL NOT BUDGE!! Stripped one head out, so tried the ole visegrips, but no luck. The rotor was chewed when I bought the bike at 14,000 miles, and now it seems it has be replaced once already and tightened by a gorilla. ANY SUGGESTIONS? Bubba -

If your driving light is loose I have a fix. Mine were loose and moving around alot. So I took them apart and found in the driving light there is a socket head bolt that has been drill out lengthwise. All you have to do is remove blinker light,be sure to take the bolt all the way out. Remove retaining ring on driving light and just let the light hang there for awhile. Unplug the red and the orange wires. Slowly pull the red and orange wires down just enough to get a 8mm allen wrench in. With a wrench hold the sided chrome part that you just pulled the blinker light off of and tighten with allen wrench good and tight. Push the red and orange wires back up into the driving light shell and replug them. Put light back in and the blinker light. You might won't to put some kink of thread lock on the allen bolt before you retighten it. Worked for me. Gene Weir
