What size are the bolts

[Twowheelman]

That hold the headers to the engine on a 1980 gs 750e?

If you look on the parts fiche, you will see that the part number is 011107-08358.

To decode that, look just after the dash, you will see that it is an M8 bolt that is 35mmm long.

I cant remember the length, but the size tread is M8-1.25....

Use studs and nuts. There are enough threads about broken bolts, boogered up threads and junked heads.

Just because Suzuki was too cheap to do it right doesn't mean you should be.

funny you say that, I have the same bike as he does, I am getting ready to change mine over to studs.. that why I knew the size and treads..LOL

Autozone or napa or someone sells a set of eight studs for about $8, a good length, with a little hex head on one end. Good stuff. Dont bottom the stud into the hole, put it almost all the way in, tighten the nut, not the stud.

There is no good reason to have so many messed up heads.
