i have the no cut ones. it probably took me all of 5 minutes to put them both on

 

wow, i got the no cut ones too. i WISH it took me 5 mins. i had the bike on the rear stand and THOUGHT i cracked the right side loose. then went to the left side. got the bolt out ok, then noticed the engine fell....AWESOME. tipped the bike both ways, had it on it's stand, jacking the engine up was the only way to get it close...JUST close enough to get it to work. now i went back to the right side and was all happy....for a second. STRIP goes the bolt, i even smacked it with a hammer and punch to break loosen the factory loktite. i get to go to the store and get an easy out now and a few more tools. wow, great choice of bolts guys.

 

Theres a thread on that cause it has happened to all of us. A trick i found is to ALWAYS break things loose with an impact if you know it is a structural bolt aka enige mount. I got this from my body man at work. He helped me get mine out after I striped it too.

 

sorry man, i searched and couldn't find the proper post. so i'm puttin it here lol. ok so i went and got TWO different kinds of bolt extractors. one looked a little chinsey but i got them both anyway. i tried the heavy ones first. drilled a hole, put the thing in there and was turnin it with a small adjustable, then a bigger one....SNAP!! i just about flew off the handle ROFL. i got the bright idea to try a specialty wrench before i tried to drill out this freakin thing. couple of huge reefs later and out she came. the bolt that is used is TOO soft, the allen hole is WAYYYY too small and WHY THE HELL is the head of the bolt tapered???? well she's all back together and i rode it. SHOGUN bar ends vibrate more than stock, i'm thinkin of puttin my old ones back on. likely won't slide as well on the pavement but hopefully that never happens. spools are killer. here's a pic of the "specialty" wrench i used. MAKE SURE UR SITTIN WHEN U LOOK AT THIS lol.
