Gas tank bolt specs for 1979 suzuki gs850g

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

I've decided I'm tired of waiting for 2 weeks and paying 2-5$ plus shipping for bolts.

I need the proper bolt to hold my gas tank onto my 1979 Suzuki gs850g.

The Suzuki OEM part is 01500-03307.

Does anyone know the proper specs (length, size, threads) for this bolt?

The one my bike came with was placed on by a P.O. and was just a standard random US bolt with a rusty washer and a generic rubber gasket on it.

I'm hoping to be able to just swing by a hardware store and pay 1-2$ for the bolt.


Thanks

If it was a standard bolt likely the thread is ruined. There is a spacer with two very specific rubber washers in there, you might want to actually order the OEM one for this, or put a wanted ad up on the site.

I already purchased the washers, standoff, but I forgot to order the bolt itself.

It's just a bolt, anything close to the right length will work.

I was going to say that the bolt size is usually encoded in the part number, but your number did not look right.

I looked it up, and sure enough, there is one wrong digit in what you typed. It is 01500-08307.
Look just after the hyphen, you will see that it is an M8 bolt that is 30mm long.

Is that how all the bolt part numbers are done? I've always wondered how to tell the bolt size.

Nearly always most of the time. Not quite a 100% but nearly almost every one.
