once you get it out replace all of the screws with hex head screws. I bought SS hex head screws at Ace Hardware and threw away those torx screws. Now the screws on the primary cover match the ones securing the outer primary cover. to me it makes that whole side look better. Dont know why thE moco uses those torx screws anyway.
After I bought a couple replacement bolts from the dealer and drilled the heads per Gliders recommendation (griping all the way to my wife that they should have used hex heads in there instead) I noticed the outer cover was put on with hex... so I went in and told the wife "I'm replacing those torx with hex next time I change it" - to which she politly said "what took you so long to come to that conculsion"
So - next time the cover comes off
BTW - for anyone else not sure about putting a drillbit to your bike, it was pretty painless and simple (bolt threads backed out by hand once the head and cover were off).
