Title: $5 to the winner Where can I get Shoulder bolts - Wierd sizes??
Post by: gage on May 18, 2009, 07:31:05 PM
I checked all the normal sources and came up with nothing.

I will pay someone $5.00 if they can help me find the bolts listed below. For real.

My High pipes require the use of spacers which are about 16mm thick the spacers space out foot peg brackets. This takes away from the amount of bolt being threaded into the engine cases/frame mounts.

One of the bolts even pulled out when the bike was knocked over last year.

Here is what I need:

8mm x 1.25
shoulder diameter 12mm
Shoulder Length 20mm
Threaded Length: 30 or 35mm
Head Diameter: 24mm could use a smaller one in combination with a washer if I have to


10mm x 1.5
shoulder diameter 12mm
Shoulder Length 20mm
Threaded Length: 40mm
Head Diameter: 24mm could use a smaller one in combination with a washer if I have to

$750!!!! :o

Ok so that ain't gonna work.

New plan:

Long Hex head bolt: 10mm x 1.5
Metal Sleeve: OD 12mm ID 10mm Length 20
24 mm OD fender washer

Think that will work?

You didn't say anything about them being affordable, just that someone had to find them.  You owe DP 5 bucks.    ;D

That's a very generous offer!

I did check the fastenal website before posting this and unfortunately didn't have any luck.

It would seem that a threaded portion of a should bolt makes up only 20% of that bolts overall length.

The specs are listed in the OP. I would prefer either stainless or hardened.

THanks Again and Good Luck!

Think outside the box.  They are available, and for a lot less money than that.  If you give up PM me :)

I can check with my local shop called King Bolt but I can't get out there until the last weekend of May.  :P The sleeve idea should work perfectly fine.

on the left side of the screen, go to "DUCATI - SPECIAL OFFERS"

keep in mind that the lengths listed are the total length of the bolts (shoulder and thread) but know that the shoulder is the exact size you need.

I'm probably misinterpreting something, but why can't you just use longer regular bolts with your existing spacers?  The shoulder bolts are probably the cleanest solution but it sounds like you may have to get them machined to get the exact ones you want.

Edit, Doh, after reading more, I see that sleeves or spacers are already under consideration.   Amazing how the simplest change from stock always seems to bring unexpected consequences.
