i spent some time the other day attempting to switch the surrounds to the guages and electrical junk (you know the ones that are magnesium on on the S and black on the SX) But though i have tools to do everything with the exception of this one, weird torqrex (sp?) type bolt at the back with a small raised circle such that a hole would be needed in the middle of the bolt. what is this can i find one?

It's called a tamper proof torx.

Available at any autozone, advance auto, pepboys, etc.

I believe that American Sport Bike, one of our sponsors, sells this tool.
