Does anyone have any advise on getting a sheared fairing bolt out of the frame? Not sure how it broke of in there as I bought the bike used, but I would like to get it out and replace it.
Currently there is not a way for me to get it with needle nose pliers as it sheared off below the frame line.

Drill a hole on it and use an ez-out.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.

that's what I had to do to my engine bolt when & it stripped putting in sliders

Head to your local home depot and pick up a set of ez-outs. the best ones come with the needed drill bit to match each ez-out size. Let me know if you need any help with it.

BTW,
Whatever you do, DON'T break the ez-out off in it.
(Been there, done that.)
Those things are hardened steel, to drill them out you'll need a $25 bit, not a $3 cheapie from Harbor Freight.

No bueno! I will check out the easy out. I just went and bought new bolts today, the dips*t before me used a screw, a torx bolt and regular fairing bolts, as well as a few empty spots. I am slowly correcting all of the little things while I wait to take my MSF this weekend!
I will also shoot a PM if I need any help. I haven't ever used an ez out before, but I'm brave enough to give it a go.
Have fun at your BRC.

where are you located? If you're anywhere near Aurora, I have a set of ez-outs you can borrow.
Worthy investment to make if you plan on picking some up. I bought mine at Lowes

Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Nice, I'm in Centennial, so not too far. What did the set cost you?
about 20 bucks...
The set of extractors was like ten or so and the bits were more...
