a long time ago i broke off half of my key in there and removed the switch. i don't remember having any trouble i am thinking they were regular bolts or maybe were loose.

if i had removed them i would have used a sharp chisel to get them loose or an bolt remover that grabs the outside of the screw

cut or grind off the heads.
big hammer lol

Well, the two fasteners that hold the switch to the bracket look like some kind of rivet. There are four normal torx screws that hold the bracket to the bottom of the top triple tree. I just took those out and replaced the bracket and all.

I used a slim nose vice grips, turn a little at a time and get a fresh bite. Replaced with allen head screws I believe. Been awhile.
