Posts: 52 Canada Gender:	Stupid Stupid! 07/12/10 at 15:11:00 While I took apart my bike I put all my nuts/bolts in catagories in ziplock bags and sharpie'd them so I'd know what went where. I seem to have LOST my side guard bolts, does anyone know what dimensions they are so I can order some or go buy some. Went to the suzuki dealership and no such luck.

I think you are looking for item "C"
you don't need socket headed flat screws, but can use the ugly assed old style normal bolts if you want

When you look under your fender you see that the available real estate has been encroached by some large protruding fasteners. You can remove some of them and replace them with stainless steel flat head and pan head socket type fasteners from:

www.boltdepot.com/product.aspx?cc=25&cs=82&cm=19&cd=1318

The list of possible replacement fasteners goes like this:

Item # C
Product #6698
Metric socket flat head screws, Stainless A-2, 8mm x 1.25 x 16mm
Quantity: 4 pieces
Price: $0.54
Subtotal: $2.16

Item # B
Product #6702
Metric socket flat head screws, Stainless A-2, 8mm x 1.25 x 35mm
Quantity: 4 pieces
Price: $0.73
Subtotal: $2.92

Item #A
Product #6657
Metric socket button head screws, Stainless A-2, 8mm x 1.25 x 25mm
Quantity: 4 pieces
Price: $0.96
Subtotal: $3.84

Item #D Welded Nut
Shorten slightly with 4" grinder

They're sitting next to your dog's favorite toy... he probably thought the grease smelled pretty good but then found the taste wasn't to his liking... Cheesy

OR

Crouch in the position you were when putting all the bolts in the ziplock bag and put your hand in your pocket...
...now, what were you wearing when you did that ?

Go to the laudry basket and retrieve the bag from the overalls in the "icky" clothes bin.

Cool
