Lowering Gauges; Upper Triple Bracket Pin Removal

Hey guys. Sending off my U-Bracket for Taft's welding magic, and in the meantime I've been looking at all the 'headlight lowering' threads. Seems some people leave the upper triple pins in place and others remove them.
I have a Speedymoto top triple on the bike right now, and its pins are in there solid. Does anyone have suggestions on how to successfully remove these pins? If not, alternate methods of mounting gauges below the triple?

The pins in the SM triple are just interference fit in there. You'll need a large pair of pliers to crush them just slightly and then pull them out. You'll want to put the upper triple in a vise, being careful not to scratch the surface. They won't come out without a fight. PB Blaster is your friend.

I locked the pins in a vice and spun the triple. They came right out.

Find the correct screw (m5 i think), screw them in from the top, and that'll push the pin out the bottom. Easy.

Good lord this way sounds easy...
Just spent a good ten minutes pulling my hardest on the things. They are certainly in there. Methinks I need to invest in a vice.

Nah Kui, the Speedys have a metal locating pin that the white nubs slip over.
Use one of the two above methods, way easier than what I said.

I tried this and the pins were in so tight I felt there was a danger of stripping the threads.
So I opted on the side of caution.

This has me worried a bit, but seeing that at least a couple people had success, I'll give it a go.

Man, much easier method. I did not think of this, but I do enjoy working harder. The smarter way is, well, too easy.
Good job DarkStaR.

Good job DarkStaR.
as a plus, the the rolled pins are not mangled up, and could most likely be reused.
