Im doing some mock up work and put my front tire on, there are no pinch bolts holding the axle in place, I assume it should not damage anything simply resting there for a couple days, right?

Depends on if you're trying to drag a knee or not....     [roll]

The U-Bolt Brackets are M6x20, if you were interested in that too.

OOooh, and this one is for free: The headlight is held on by M8x25.
