Front Footrest Bolt On A Bonnie 2003.

Hi all first post on here for a bit. Bike been running fine but at traffic lights today the left hand footrest bolt sheared off!! [Btw I am 10st dripping wet so not my weight causing it].

Looking to replace the bolt the head appears to be bonded to the body of the footrest and won't come out with a gentle tap from a hammer and drift. I am thinking it's a dremel job.

Anybody encountered this problem? If so how did you resolve it?

 

Sorted. The bolt is bonded to the footrest bracket so does need dremeling off which is a little tricky but do-able. I used the smaller cutting wheels which you can get for dremels, forgot what the proper name for them is. Needs knocking out to reveal the hole. Find a suitable nut/bolt to replace and Bob's your uncle. Taking the footrest rubber and bolt out for access to use the dremel is quite simple btw.

 

Thanks. Bit weird just waiting at lights and the footrest ends up on the floor. No idea why, looks like the bolts been hacksawed which is impossible.
