Finally got the bolts out today. They were in there with red thread lock which made them a proper PITA to remove.
I managed to snap my hardened impact …login to view the rest of this post

How did you guys remove the bolts from the rear rotor?
I've snapped 2 Torx T40 bits today. They both sheared with no movement of the bolts!

Yeah, the writing was a bit odd. I'm not sure why they wrote 'Yamaha cap' and a random number on there.
The Rizoma one has writing on it too, but jus…login to view the rest of this post

Yep, stuck it on as I think I'd rather get a keyless cap. Your one looks awesome :)
Thought I'd be cheeky and stick it on for more than I paid :)

Samr1- let me know what he's got, I may be interested in a few bits

Thanks for the welcomes :)
I've emailed r16uru to see if he can source some velocity stacks.
