Hi guys,

Trying to split the two fairings from the V-Piece, I have the whole assy off of the bike but when I go to back the allen bolt out of the V-Piece it just spins and doesn't come out, any ideas on what I need to do?

Thanks,

T

sounds like the bolts are spinning in the little metal brackets,
get a pair of multi grips or vice grips and pull towards you as you are loosening the bolt offhopefully the thread on the nut will catch the thread on the bracket again
parts 2 & 3

Round there back there's rubber 'washers' with gold thread inserts, the washers are rotated along with the bolt, I've tried holding them with needle nose pliers but that's doing f all Sad
