This is the first time it has ejected bolts, even though it's a Harley! :D But I suspect it was due to the bolts already being compromised... bolts don't just snap like that. I really hope it's not gonna be a PITA to get them out
It's sheared off pretty clean. They can probably notch it and use a screwdriver. If they have to use an easy-out, it's a bad day.
"They" are me in this case, no shops have any space right now. But I just had a look at them, and it doesn't look impossible... might be enough if I bang them a bit with a flathead, and then I can probably get them out with pliers. Finding imperial size hex bolts here in Europe will probably be harder 😃
