GS 08 Handshield removal -- please help!

[trogxx]

Hi,

Intend fitting a throttle rocker and perhaps grip puppies. (Artheritic digits).

Cannot, however, remove handshields? The nut at the bar-end will not budge.
Frightened to give it too much welly case I break something. I suspect I'm missing something obvious! Or just being a bit of a tart -- probably!

Would appreciate any help from all you would be mechanics out there. Please remember all instructions need to be idiot proof -- because that's who your dealing with here.

Thanks for listening,
Cheers,
Trogxx

You're a bit of a tart!

Just need to get physical with it.

Nut?????

It's a screw with a female hexagonal head.

Hi,

Thanks for quick reply. A tart it is then!

Screw?? Nut?? Whatever -- still can't move it. Would they have used loctite or similar?

Only recourse now is to get the grandaughter over to assist.

Nope.standard right hand thread, on my 1150, can't imagine it would be any different on yours.

Hi,
Thanks very much for your help.
Your answers gave me the bottle to give it a hearty yank ... and the rest (as they say) is history ... throttle rocker installed -- two minute job, really.
Again, appreciate your time and assistance.
Cheers,
Henry
