Hi guys, Ive just purchased an acewell 7/8 bar and triple clamp - but I'm having some difficulty removing the standard clip ons.

Help?

Blimey, is this a wind up ? Who did that ?

That should be a small bung that sits ontop of the allen key bolt that just pops off with a blade or small screwdriver .. unless they have replaced the bolt down into the tripple tree with a domed headed bolt

they have used a size 10 socket as a spacer so it could be anything but my guess is Cobba is right with the allen head cap thing

Yup - bingo. I cant believe it - the bars were raised by a 10mm socket.

Next problem is removing the ignition from the triple clamp.

The ignition snap off or anti tamper bolts are removed by drilling the head of the bolts and then hammering a Phillips or a standard screw driver into the drilled hole, the bolt is actually low tensile steel and will form to the screwdriver shape easily with a good whack with the hammer....also there won't be any thread lock glue either,..so drill a hole,whack a screwdriver in there and turn anti clockwise.
If this doesn't work, just keep drilling until the bolt head spins off , do this to the two, drop the ign assy off and then use vice grips to turn the threaded stubs out...you can't re use the original bolts anyway.

Bloody legend. Thanks!
