I'm new here so Hello everyone. Very Happy

Have a quick question, hopefully it can be answered.


I have a Honda XR125L 2003 and it need the indicators replaced, wondered if all bikes have the same sized bolts? As i was going to go for aftermarket one because i find the XR's HUGE. Most ones i've found state they're 8mm mounting bolts? Any ideas?

Also it has a luggage rack on the back (factory done) and as the bike is over 7 years old the bolts have become rusted and impossible to take off with normal household tools. I've tried WD-40 and other lubricants to try and loosen them up a little but no effect. Do they need to be drilled off or is there another solution?


Thank you in advance for any answer/solutions

Will

WD40 isn't much good in such situations. PlusGas is much better. Also heating the seized items with a blowtorch will usually free them.
BTW don't post in bold as it's annoying.

Sorry for the bold writing.

Would any old hardware store sell PlusGas or would it be easier to buy it online?

Do you know anything about the indicator mounting bolts?

Many Thanks for your help

It's always better (and often cheaper) to buy locally rather than online.
Sorry, I can't help with the indicators.
