I accidentally ended up damaging the wires of the side stand switch. I plan to replace this part. However I didn't have much luck in getting the switch off near the kickstand. Looks like I need to unscrew these 2 screws. Does anyone what size are these torx screws and what would be an ideal tool to take this off? What is the triumph part number for the switch? Is there a better way to fix this problem other than replacing the switch or bypassing it altogether?

Well the part number is T2081178, and here in the UK a replacement will cost just under 35 of the Queens pounds.
Can't assist with the Torx bit size at the moment which is what you'll need to undo them without risk of chewing up the heads.


Edit.
The screws are T20 .
Easy to bypass the switch, but once it's been removed off the bike it'll be much easy to work on it with view to repairing the wire/s. Some soldier and self amalgamating tape could end up being be your best friend!
