I am looking to replace most of the hardware on my bike. It is very much apart at the moment and I was wondering if anyone could give me the general sizes for the nuts and bolts and studs on the bike. I'm looking to get stainless replacements for pretty much everything.

I figure its mostly M5 and M6 stuff. any ideas on length?

any and all help is appreciated.

monsterparts.com aka JEFF H on the forums sells a bolt kit. its 308 stainless and repalces all the bolts on your engine and a few other tid bits. Easier then buying hte bolts individually. Highly recommended.

I did look at Jeff's site before asking. It is a great resource.

One of my bigger concerns would be the intake and exhaust stud and no Kit I have found replaces them. I also don't see a size in the Haynes manual.

i think about three exhaust studs on mine actually screw out (the nuts just stay fixed in place) when i attempt to unscrew the bolt...  no bueno.

Same here.  I just leave 'em.

exhaust and intake studs are 8x1.25

don't know the length.

Not a real good idea to replace the exhaust studs with stainless.  Stainless is a little bit more Gummy, (Technical term) with the heat and in an aluminum head they will likely seize up and never come out.

Any high heat application should see some antisieze on the fastener.

Good note!

I ended up getting the engine bolt kit from Jeff and found some zinc coated exhaust nuts online. Thinking I can get her back together next week!
