Bought R6 front brakes for my FZR600 since they’re 10 years newer and a direct bolt on. When I put them on I realized the lines were on at the wrong angle, so I’d have to bend them pretty sharply to be able to line up the brackets that attach them to the forks. No big deal, I’ll just loosed the banjo bolts and rotate them around, I thought. Except the bolts are 100% seized and the heads are completely stripped and nothing I do will make them budge. So now I’m getting a refund and looking for better ones once again...
Unrelated and much more valuable bikes from last year’s JCCS above.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

You could drill out the existing bolts and replace them

Those dual round headlight sportbikes give me all kinds of feelings.

I was thinking of doing that but I don’t have a drill bit big enough for that bolt and honestly it’s just easier to get a new one. There’s no guarantee I’d be able to get it out after drilling the head off and then I’d have to drill the whole thing out and helicoil it and so on...

Honda VFR? And those FZRs, fizzers indeed. I am easy - 4 headlights, 80s style sportbike, sold! Even if they are probably not the most fun to ride for a broken down old man who isn’t 5'7" 125.

I really want to see their new space, I have to find an excuse to go back to LA. I was there with 2 friends and we were talking to one of the guys who works there, they’re all super friendly and knowledgeable
