Good news! Paul A's idea worked. I just had to get up enough cajones to cut a
slot in the head with the Dremel. The screw was surpisingly soft. A few taps
on
the slot in the direction of off-wise travel with a screwdriver and a BFH and
the
screw was loosened enough to take it off with the screwdriver alone. Thanks for
all the timely replies from everyone on this non-LBC problem. This gives me the
excuse I needed to buy the chrome screws to replace the zinc plated ones I just
removed. Just can't have enough chrome on a Harley!
