Post Mikuni Support Bracket - HELP!
Still have yet to put this part on. What happened was when I was backing out the phillips head bolts & one of them stripped. I can't get it to come out. All the other 3 came out fine.

Should I cut the head slightly to make it fit a flat head?

Drill it out with a small drill bit? Possibly get it to come out and/or retap if necessary?

I think Rod said the bolts that need to be removed will all be replaced in the kit / parts provided.

Anyone have any tricks for getting this final bolt removed.

Coe,
I did the same thing. finally got a pair of needlenose and was able to turn the screw after a good couple minutes of squeezing the sh!t out of the pliers and twisting the screw head.
