Title: Engine Bolt Kit
Post by: Red Biker on Tuesday, 03 April 2018, 07:53 PM
Hi all,
Looking for a little help if possible.

There are numerous engine bolt kits on the market that are sold as a 'kit' but I'm thinking of getting mine made up but cant find the specifics on sizes!!  I know it's a mix of 25 and 30mm but does anyone have the definitive breakdown?

To clarify it's all the casing bolts for both sides.

Thanks in advance
Red  :hat:

Like you said RB, it's mostly a mix of 25 and 30mm, but I haven't got exact listings for them.
You could remove, measure and replace one at a time and make a list. This shouldn't cause any problems or leaks.

I knew that was there but hadn't had a chance to go look
I'm thinking the list if possible should be made a sticky @gsxbarmy

:cheers:

Rubber or braided SS?

Unless it's black SS, it'll be rubber!   Hey Red, after you finish beating yourself, try a quick whipping for a change.

Jeez that whipping remark opened a few closet doors!!

Don't whip yourself in the closet, ya can't get a good enough swing - or so I've heard. :whistling:

On a serious note now I'm vinyl, my swingarm and wheels are the only things that can be polished!!
The tank et all just need a wipe with window cleaner  :clapping:
