One of the bolts that holds the fairing on has snapped off into the frame.

It is the middle one on the left mid fairing, the bike was like this when I got it.

Im not getting a bit fed up with it flapping a bit and want to replace it! Whats the best way of removing it?

Its not very wide diameter will the kits fit?

you need to drill it. although there are special tools that are used which cost a couple of quid each, basically drill a hole and wind the tool in(its a bit like thread cutter (tap)) it has an opposite thread which as you wind it in it unbolts what ever is stuck. you can get them at halfords or your best bet is a decent tool shop.

But dont screw it in and give it shed loads of pressure as the tools break quite easily.

Spray the bolt first with duck oil or something similar and leave overnight before you try the tap set.
