Why can't you accomplish this from what everyone has suggested??? It should not be that difficult! I know it's a pain to get a shaved screw out but it shouldn't take that long if you follow the above advices!
1. Rubber band didn't workWhy can't you accomplish this from what everyone has suggested??? It should not be that difficult! I know it's a pain to get a shaved screw out but it shouldn't take that long if you follow the above advices!
1. Rubber band didn't work
2. Hammer didn't work
3. WD soak didn't work
4. Saw the screw head and use a blade screwdriver didn't work
5. Can't buy tools because stores are all closed - will wait until they're opened
6. Fairings are very expensive in Brazil, can't break the plastic and buy a new one
Bought the bike 2nd hand... Maybe the previous owner overtightened it! Or, the bolt was never removed and the rust did the job (2015 bike).Fantastic. Now to replaced and assure the hex does not "round" yet again...some *realistic* self introspection required to prevent re occurrence.
So precisely where did you go wrong to begin with? Wrong size allen tool? Sloppy method? Unnecessary overtorque?
Correction all part of the learning process.....
I'm currently working on a '96 Honda ST1100 ...identical fairing screws all over this thing. My VFR too, same exact hardware.
