Question Ignition switch security bolt size

[Sdaniels]

I'm getting ready to install the single headlight on my sons bike. Anticipating having to remove the ignition to drill/tap the triple clamp. Can someone confirm the bolts are 6mm, about 30-35mm length?

EDIT: found it...it's an 8x1.25 bolt, probably around 20-25mm length.

Why do you think you'll have to remove the t-clap to install a headlight and ignition? Did you get one of those fork sleeve headlight brackets? They do a lot of damage to the chrome on the fork tube.

No...my son picked up one of those chinese made generic kits. I've got to drill/tap the bottom of the triple clamp for the headlight/speedo bracket. It looks like the ignition might interfere with drilling straight into the triple.

EDIT: Plenty of room to drill the triple without removing the ignition switch.
