    As above and I don't mean to sound rude but if you are having to ask how to remove a bolt should you be performing such tasks. Just sayin!
    You may want to remove your post code from your side bar, clicking on it reveals your address in maps and thieves "cruise" forums anonymously for such things. Hello, BTW, get the bolt sorted.

    I wanted to fit r&g crash protecters but because they are torx I wanted to know the torx size so I can get one its seems a lot more to it than the company makes out

    I believe its the second biggest 45 you need to remove both, one at a time.
    These need torqued when replaced. Do you have the settings and a torque wrench?

    Very straight forward, piece of p .remove one at a time ,dont even have to remove the fairing, ( I did, to be safe). Its a two man job cos you have to reach through the frame to hold the other side of the bolt using extensions, drop of thread lock (blue) wouldnt go a miss. And check again after a long run.
