Title: Finally got the winshield off stupid Torx bolts
Post by: Alex on March 17, 2008, 03:11:19 PM: I ended up just welding a nut to the head to get them out. I also tied in my harness bar to the b-piller and put on my free rims. You get some funny looks riding around without a windshield ;D

You do know that is illegal and also very dangerous, correct?

Just don't get behind anyone or you may lose an eye or a tooth. Bugs in the mouth sucks also. :o

Post by: Alex on March 17, 2008, 04:08:09 PM: Will, I am still thinking about it ;D....I just put it back on with some grade 8 bolts so it will be easy to take off on the trail (the reason i took it off).

Post by: Alex on April 01, 2008, 11:34:23 AM: I welded a nut on each one and it was easy. Only took 30 min to do about 10 bolts and put the new ones in.
