for bolts not listed there's another chart, but it doesn't reporduce in a readable form...ask fo rwhat you need..

Also specs I gave are for original year.....as years go up, sometimes parts are different and torque is different...so what year bike?

There is one more chart from the manual for "generic" bolts of various sizes and grades.  maybe add this too?
