It's a stainless steel 8mm x 1.25 X 30 mm.
Thanks guys for all the suggestions.
You will properly tighten them with the proper torque's value, right? Sure hate to see a cracked exhaust manifold :'(

& of course you used antisieze?
& you kept the old one as a spare, too, right?
Yes and yes.LOL
A while back I installed a 4 into 1 exhaust on a KZ750 and them header bolts were a PITA to come off. I learned a good lesson on not using anti-sieze.

....Just get Stainless.....
Doesn't that bolt screw into a blind hole in the aluminum head?
If so, my last good brain cell is telling me there might be a problem using a stainless steel bolt screwed into aluminum.
Is there a concern there (galvanic corrosion?), or am I just totally OTL (again!)?

You got the same problem with the stock bolt. Just apply the same anti-sieze you would for the stock bolt.
