    Best place for engine bolts?

    Looking for metric bolts for a gs750 from 1978. I've come upon a few ebay places:





    One is really cheap but I'm not sure it would have everything I need! I wish I knew the size of the screws without just removing all of them... sounds like a long day with the good old impact driver that I've been meaning to wait till another day for. Where have you guys been getting yours?

    Stainlesscycle is where I got mine for the '77.

      Where are you at? I get a lot of mine at Ace Hardware to include the real good grades if you look careful enough.

      And if you look in the parts fiche, you'll see the bolt measurement in the part number (have you read over the welcome package from Basscliff yet?)

          I don't know why I didn't just go there first. Guess I'm pretty familiar with their section for my bike, but a search always pulls up something extra...

              FWIW, the stuff at Ace is very expensive in comparison, even the non-chromed fasteners are far from cheap. It's far more cost effective to order a whole set that is specific to the model. You'll spend a lot less money and a lot less time because you won't have to match all of the different lengths. If sticking with phillips heads, one will find that the heads are larger than OE. I went with the allen sets on both my '77 750 and my '81 1100E and am very happy with them.

                Just go to the local metric fastener supplier. They have everything, it's all dirt cheap.

                No paying 100x the normal price for metrics like at Ace.
