that's correct buddha. there is a k&n in the airbox. so i guess these are right.

for anyone wondering, i think the brass screws that hold the bowls on are 10-32's x 0.5" length. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

one more thing. i also bought a carb rebuild kit thinking i would need it.... major waste of money. don't buy one. i don't even need to replace any of the stuff that came in it. it's just $25 down the hole. if you find you need any of those parts after opening up your carbs, buy them individually once you've determined you need them.

noob mistake.  :cookoo:

Yes there was much buddha bashing on this topic.
They are really 5mm .8 pitch 12mm length. And yes allen is a good replacement.
Of course on the street, 5mm crap is really imprecise, made by crack heads who cut the threads with their teeth. But you can get high quality SS 10-32's in allen head.
Of course in my jet pack I provide SS button head allen 5X12 bolts. I had to just buy a pickup truck full of these, but I have em ... so ...
Cool.
Buddha.
