Try drilling the head off, as you are changing the bars anyway. Then just replace the bolts and bushes. Or try to get a slot cut into it and use a flat bladed screwdriver to remove it.

If you have an impact driver & the appropriate size allen piece, it will prob come off with a couple of whacks. If you were a bit closer you could try mine  . |

It wasn't so groovy the time some comedian added a "L" to all the "GROVE" signs.
That wasn't you by any chance Martin?

after fitting the bars do you have much play on cables, as you could fit a set of risers which may take up enough not to catch, i fiited lean back risers to mine which only needed me to re-route the throttle cable

was told about risers from guy in the bike club but it would slightly defeat my purpose of puttin drag bars on in first place so as i miss my sports bikes i am lookin out for another bike .
Cheers Drew
