    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Exhaust bolt size?

Can anyone tell me the size of the exhaust bolts on my 77 GS750? The ones that came with my V&H pipe already look crappy and I want to replace them with some stainless ones. I tend to think they are M8 35mm, but I want to be sure before I order them.
 
On my GS 550L 82' they are too M8 35mm...

So I think everyone share the same ...
 
Just as a follow up, the M8-35mm SS bolts I ordered are way too long. The size they should be are M8-25mm. The thread pitch and size M8 are right on but the length should be 25mm.
 
make sure you put some anti-sieze goop on those bolts before you put them back in. Stainless+aluminum+high heat=STUCK!

Pasteurized,

Where did you order your bolts from? I'm looking for something better since my local hardware store carries little to no metric fasteners.

thanks-

I got them at McMaster-Carr, http://www.mcmaster.com/. Their website is a little hard to navigate at first, so scroll down to "Fastening and Sealing" and then click on "Socket Head Cap Screws". You should be able to go from there. Good pricing, no minimum, cheap ($4.50) shipping that was very fast!

BTW I am getting some pics ready to pm you about the seat...
