handlebar clamp bolts

[davidgibson999]

Hi
About to fit Migsel risers but haven't a clue what tool I need to remove the clamping bolts - they look like torx in reverse... Any ideas? I did a search and someone has suggested a normal 8mm socket which I started to use but it started to round one off so I'd rather use the proper tool.. thanks in advance

is there nothing in the bike tool kit that fits?

LOL ... nice one ... 'bike tool kit' ... very funny ... *

BTW, you need a torx socket for it.

the old tools with my old and shagged 1150 a sweet, loads of stuff no idea what to do any of it and all that was missing is the bottle opener!

David, You need an E10 socket (1/4 inch drive) from Halfords. If you don't go for Halfords own you might need to check the barrel is thin enough to give you access as there's not much clearance.
