Just scored a set of risers and bars and now I need to remove the ignition barrel from the standard top clamp.

My question is can I buy the torx bit to do this ?

When I worked in bike wrecking we only ever drilled out the bolts with mixed success and the top clamp is promised to someone so I don't want to stuff it.

If I can't buy the bit I need whats the next best option ?

Thanks guys,

Dan.

super cheap and bunnings have torx keys sets for like 10 bucks, just make sure you get a set with the hollowed out face as the bolts on the triple have security dimples

Thanks joe I've never really had too much to do with torx fittings, knew they existed but most of my stuff is too old for this type of flash fittings lol.

If you can't get torx with the hole a center punch will remove the pin.
