Default Extended reach controls

Details: 2017 Fat Bob
Trying to replace standard front controls with extended reach controls front Kyuakyn. Problem is I cant get the mounting bolts on the existing mount plate to move. I know it's not a problem specific to this bike but looking here for ideas. Thx

I'm pretty sure they use loktite on those.
Try heating them up a propane torch or a good heat gun.

I stripped one of mine out. Then I broke an easy out off in it. Then I burnt up about 5 drill bits trying to drill out the easy out. Then I hacked at it with a dremel and removed piece by piece of the bolt head until I finally got it all. What an ordeal. I guess the morale of this story is to be careful and try all the tricks, heat, penetrating oil, etc, before you make the same mistake I did. Those bolts are recessed down in there so just be careful with the heat and don't burn your finish, but a little heat should help.

Shoot a picture of what your trying to do? Trying to figure out what bolts you are talking about.
