Bolt thread catalog for GS500 (April 17, 2012)

Nice idea, this type of list helped me loads when doing my triumph, especially with the nasty mix of british/sae bolts all over there.

A quick word on stainless fasteners, they are very corrosion resistant but they are not very resistant to stress and fatigue. I would not recommend them on critical stress points. Triple tree clamps, brakes, etc. This gets a lot of discussion over on my vintage forums.

I'd like to mount some frame sliders on the bike.  Would the front engine mount be a good spot?  Yes, I know the risk of twisting the frame in a crash.  Just hoping this will serve in a low speed lay down.

Anyone know the size and length of the front engine mount bolts?  Partzilla suggests 10mm width, 255mmmm length.   http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Suzuki/Motorcycle/2007/GS500F/CRANKCASE/parts.html

Would part 22 be a suitable mounting point?

Based on this thread http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=67940.0 I would say yes that location is good
