You should be fine - torque settings will be pretty low for those bolts.1978 GS1085.
Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

Common 18-8 or 316 stainless bolts have a tensile strength of 85 ksi, and the stock bolt Suzuki used on the clutch are about 115 ksi, or 35% stronger. I'd use the stronger bolts.Ed
To measure is to know.

remember they're screwing into alloy....and the washers under the heads are almost certainly weaker than the stainless capscrews too.
The bolts I've seen break have been stock ones which break where the thread is relieved under the head for washer clearance.
IMO they only break because of overtightening.

Spec is only 8 lb-ft - that's nothing (roughly one finger on a 6 inch torque bar). No problem unless you buy bolts made out of cheese. I wouldn't go with alloy - even the Screwfix stainless is stronger than that.79 GS1000S
