Just got both discs off the front of my 14 year old V11 without a sheared bolt. Walkin' in sunshine. Had the new discs nearly a month. Taken me that long to pluck up the courage to tackle it. Feel like I've just nailed another sweet virgin.

I had no problem removing any of the bolts to take my old discs off. The problems only started when I tried refitting the bolts and torquing them up correctly again....

Good luck :twisted: :lol:

Second that but on the rear sprocket, ended up running the Nelli with 3 of the 6 bolts with threads sheared for a year till the replacements came

You've done well to get that long out of the original discs mate.
