I had to use a fluted nut remover to get one of my rotor bolts out. Craftsman sells them as a kit for removing rounded bolts/nuts. As for the rear shock, no. The 796 and 848 use completely different rear end setups and the shock with the external reservoir will NOT fit the 796. The options are (from Ohlins at least) the DU737 or having a TTX shock built for you...ugh.

Copy, thanks.  I emailed Dan@kyleracing yesterday too, and he basically said the same thing -- no-go on a 848 shock on my bike. 

Update on my progress: going to attempt to prime and paint my top triple tonight while I'm waiting for my new rotor bolts to come in on Friday.  I'll post pics.
