    Hi peeps need some help I’ve recently put trident pipes on my 17 plate bobber & the baffles kept coming loose so I put hi temp loctite on the bolts that hold the baffle in place
    I’ve decided I prefer the sound of the tridents without the baffle but cannot undo the bolts now
    Any ideas would be helpful
    Thanks all

    It sounds like you're having some trouble with the bolts on your trident pipes. If the hi-temp Loctite is making it difficult to undo the bolts, you could try using some penetrating oil like WD-40 to help loosen them. Let it sit for a bit, then try using a wrench or socket to gently turn the bolts. Hopefully, that will help you remove them.
