Since the theif them damaged the top yoke and ignition barrel on my 30, i got a replacement set off edg-65 on here

i went about trying to fit them today, so i got the old yoke off, and the bolt heads for the bolts/screws which hold the ignition barrel in seem to be mullered, perhaps to prevent it being taken off i guess. So what type of bolt/screw would i need to fit the new one, seeing as i can't take the old screw/bolt to measure against or show some1 in a hardware store/autofactors. so does anyone have any lying about or know of where i can get em from? or is it a case of ordering them from a dealer? and would i need to muller the heads off once fitted so that it wont be removable?

lot of questions sorry

I don't know the exact size as my tools are down in the garage but they are a torx head bolt (like a star shape) and deffo not a use once only bolt...Ive had mine on/off several times.

They're security torx, if I remember rightly I think they're T40

they look really butchered though il show you guys pictures.




in the mean time im going to run and check if i have a torx bit that size

You might still be able to hammer the torx bit in there to get them out.

I seem to recall honda also used threadlock on these fasteners but I might be dreaming it.

i cant seem to find any of the torx stuff i had..
might just have to try buying replacements

They don't look too bad to me. As has been said the right Torx bit should fit nicely but I do remember them being well torqued up (Feckin tight). I put the top yolk in a vice and applied steadily increasing pressure with the rachet (swor a bit) and it suddenly cracked free and was fine.

Remember these probobly havn't moved since Honda put it together all those years ago

t40 was too big
t30 was too small
i dont have any inbetween sizes there
off to the dealers it is then

Ok. Been there and struggled they are loctited in and if they are mullered don't struggle. Drill heads off remove ignition however as its knackered then mole grips. I replaced mine with M8 hex bolts I think. If someone wants to nick the bike is it worth worrying about two bolts!!

any M8 hex bolts would do right?
