Title: Exhaust bolts wiggled loose. Need replacement info.
Post by: raylarrabee on July 23, 2005, 08:23:29 PM
Well, took a study break today and took my baby out for a ride.  About halfway through, the exhaust note changed all of a sudden.  I stopped to inspect, and the top 2 bolts has wiggled loose from the pipe.

Anybody know what size bolts I need to get to replace them?

I remember something like 6x45mm but I am probably way off.

I'm a dumbass...sorry, I didn't specify.  I have a WileyCo--those are the 2 bolts I lost, not the exhaust header bolts.

Home despot has a horrible selection of metric bolts.  If you were in this area, I'd say go to McLendon's, but whoever is the home-grown hardware store where you are is a better bet.

Bikebandit dot com.  You can order an exact Suzuki replacement.  The price is twice what you'd pay at the hardware store but you don't have to run around town.

In other words, two bolts that connect a custom flange to an aftermarket pipe - not Suzuki parts.
