So I have a 2015 FXDF and I swapped out my brake line and during install the bolt that secures the brake line to under the triple tree snapped and I cant get it out. Has anyone ever ran into this and does anyone have any alternative mounting ideas. I'm looking for an easier way than trying to remove the broken bolt.
Thanks

you are a big help

Well, you broke a bolt,, take it out,, that one is not a hardened bolt so it should be easy(ier) then a hardened one.
Chalk it up to learning,,
p.s. A lot of bolts are like that on bikes. Soft metal, not hardened. And the Gorilla is not needed to tighten them.

 

Does it look like this?

 

Yes, had the same thing happen to my 2012 FXDF. Tried drilling it out with no luck. ended up making a bracket and hung from headlight mounting bolt. Not really pretty, but it's been fine for 2 years and cost effective. This is SS but you could use carbon and paint it. I have a pic, but can't get computer and phone communicating for some reason. PM me your number and i'll send to you.


PS: I didn't do it, someone else did.

 

thanks.. It wasn't even tightened all the way, got it about half way and it snapped no gorilla , I don't have the drill bits so I was gonna try a different way. But if no other ideas I will remove it..

 

​​​​​​​yea

 

It doesn't look like that anymore. OP, Check your PMs, I sent you one.
