Tank bolts

[tedrogers]

See post #13:http://www.600riders.com/forum/garage-mechanical-help/45141-gas-tank-pivot-bolt-2.html

The TOTAL (end to end) lenth is 96 mm's on my 2007. A 94mm, would work as well. It is an M6

If the nut (attached to the gas tank) is damaged beyond repair, I'd drill the old stripped threads away (just slightly larger), then put a self locking SS nylon nut on over it. Its not going anywhere...

The shoulder of the bolt does NOT BOTTOM OUT where it screws into the fuel tank tab (that'd be the blurry picture)

As for the two ft bolts, I've never lost one, I don't torque them to factory spec's, just good and snug.

I managed to find a 100mm M6 nickel plated bolt, and this works really well. Had to cut if down to size and round the sharp threads off at the end, but it's a good fit.

Thanks for your reply.
