Right guys, quick question.
I have the later forks on my k100, type 2 in the below link
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=0501&mospid=51746&btnr=31_0357&hg=31&fg=42
Below the brace there is two bosses front and back on each leg approx 50mm below. Are these threaded?
I ask because the cap screws are siezed in the holes. These caps screws are quite long and have a nut on the opposite side holding the mudguard in place. I removed the nut and hoped maybe they might come free. Alas no chance. Before I drill them out I wanted to make sure these are threaded holes otherwise I might try and jack them out against each other. If they are threaded I won't since I'll likely damage something.
These have been a little annoyance for a while. Hopefully someone can tell me.
Cheers
