Hello,
I picked up a used 13 S10 a few weeks ago that is outfitted with the givi crash bars. Upon inspection it appears one drop by the previous owner broke one of the bolts, such that the right side (if sitting on bike) is no longer attached under the headlights. The fact that the bolt was essentially cut means I can’t just put another nut on; however, I don’t see how I can get the bolt out as it is flush on the backside (built in?) and there is no room to knock it out if that’s even possible.
has anyone ever dealt with this before? Is there a way to fix, or am I stuck buying a new bar? If the latter, am I able to buy one side only?
I know it’s a bit hard to follow my description, so I have attached a couple of (bad) pics to maybe help. Where my finger is pointing in the second pic is where the broken bolt is.
