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.

The simplest and most foolproof thing you can do is to take one of the others down to either your Ace or True Value hardware stores (both have a good metric selection) and compare with their stuff.

Thread count also works with SAE fasteners: 1/4-20, 6-32, etc.
Metric fasteners give the pitch, SAE gives the count per inch.
Bike Bandit is a decent enough place to order parts, but of all the ones that I have used, they are the only ones that use their own numbering system. All the others use real Suzuki part numbers. Sometimes the bolt/nut size is encoded into the part number.

Yeah Steve 08310-00107 is the OEM Suzuki part number per Alpha-Sports site. Common to a lot of assemblies over a number of years and so on.....
The new part is darn pretty and chrome plated though so I would buy it online rather than get some less than beautiful equivalent.....
