While you�re sitting around waiting for your LH drill bits to arrive, why not just cut/grind/file/drill (delete as appropriate) off the heads of the offending bolts, remove the cover and unscrew the sensor. Refit the sensor to your Metal Mule header and off you go!
You can then tackle the stuck remnants of the bolts at your leisure while still being able to ride your bike.

Good point well made but you haven't taken into account one vital factor. My complete unparalleled ability to mess up the simplest of tasks! I've made a pig's ear of one of the exhaust manifold bolts as well now
so all work must grind to a halt until my new drill bits arrive.
I sort of accepted that doing the exhaust fitting myself would result in the bike being off the road for a few days/weeks/months/indefinitely. I've still got my Versys to keep me occupied while I stock my toolbox
Hopefully I won't need to turn up to the Wales meeting on it!
