Damper Rod Bolt
You know that silly little bolt through the bottom of your lowers that holds the damper rod in at the bottom?
It's really not a metric Allen. It's a #30 pilot bit followed by a 1/4" bit. That is all.

Just a small diameter bit for making a small diameter hole in the center of what your drilling. Then your larger bit follows it easier and the tip doesn't have to cut.
Much easier drilling.

That's the same way the derby cover comes off!

That's because Harley figured out it was easier for those knuckleheads they call certified techs to drill out stripped pot metal bolts when they rounded them off rather than the hardened variety.

I do have to give a thumbs up to the Kobalt ball end I was using. I had a foot long box end on it for a little leverage (lifetime warranty) and it didn't bend, twist, or break. It just cut the flats right out of the bolt head.

Strange that it fought you so hard. Mike and I got mine out with a ball-end and a pair of pliers. Same way Steve got Dave's out too.

It was one of the few bolts not corroded on

That's the truth. We couldn't get the fork legs out of the trees, but the damper rod bolt was a piece of cake.
