fork cap buttons (4) - ohiorider_imp - 07-13-2018

What is the simplest way to remove the four little caps that cover the bolts holding the handlebar in place? Is there a tool one should use to keep from scratching up the top clamp or the buttons themselves? I want to move the handlebars just slightly toward me.

Thanks,

Bob

A very fine blade carefully applied is what I’d use.

Ditto. I use a knife. Carefully.

Ditto using edge of blade not point

If it's like my Triumph I use dental floss. Little less risk of a slip up.

That hurts to even think about it!

Thanks all, for your suggestions. Think I'll try floss or monofilament fishing line
