Ya, so I umm... stripped the head on a plastic/nylon screw trying to take the windscreen off to replace it with a puig... :hammer

Anyone know of a good way to remove this fucker without damaging anything? If not guess I'll take it to the stealership tomorrow and tell them that I fuxxered up.

drill the head off of it. get a drill bit about the same size as the screw shaft. drill in what used to be the X of the screw. the head will pop off. then back the rest out with a vice grip.

The screw is still on the screen which is still on the bike, so I'm not sure if I'd be able to grab the remaining bit with a pair of vice grips?

go to your local hardware store. ask them where the bolt outs or screw outs are. they are basically a reverse threaded drill bit that grips as you drill it in in reverse thus backing out the screw.

or u could just drill that bitch out through the entire screw, easier than shit just use a small drill to start with

If you have a dremel use a small cutting blade and notch it for a flat head then use that to back the screw out. Its plastic so it shouldnt be that hard at all.

Good luck Im dealing with a bunch of stripped screws on my friends 750 right now.
