Title: Is there a resource for bolt size information?
Post by: Juan1 on August 19, 2008, 09:24:43 AM
My bike came with a flyscreen (a 1989), but no mounting bolts.  I didn't want to have to go to Home Depot and grab several bolts in an attempt to find a match because I'm lazy.  Anyone know what size bolts I'll need?  Also, does anyone know what size bolts the side plastics are held to the frame with?  Thanks in advance.

Bolt sizes are frequently shown on parts fiches.   By flyscreen do you mean the small optional headlight cowling Suzuki used to sell for the GS-E?

Perfect!  Thanks.  Bikebandit's fiche didn't have that info.
