    I bought some of those whizzo hand guard extenders from Touratech, and fitted them this morning.I could have just fitted them in situ, but the instruction said to remove the hand guards, so I did as I was told, and removed the hand guards.In doing so, I have found that the bolt on the left side was seriously cross threaded. It eventually came out with a pair of vice grips, after the hex head stripped.So now I have to find a bar-end bolt to replace the trashed one I have.Any thoughts? It looks a bit specialist.The hand guards are cool though.NEWSFLASH !!!! The bolt is actually bent, but the thread is okey dokey. I just need a new bolt, and I'm away laughing.

    Call off the dogs !!I have ordered a new bolt from Chermany, at the rare ol' price of $5.50 plus GST.Surprisingly, there are different bolts for bikes with or without hand guards. Also surpisingly, you can still buy them individually, instead of as a pair.Problemo solved.
