    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

09104-12014 Lower RH Bolt

The bolt on my lower right hand shock is missing (1981 GS850GLX). I tried several different bolts but nothing seems to match up so it's probably a bit 'odd' in dimensions. The PN is in the title. I actually did a lot of research but couldn't find the bolt dimensions for this specific and obsolete part. If you have the dimensions of the bolt, can you please respond? (My head hurts from all the searching :confused:) Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks!

Ed - Interesting. I've been on their site and never noticed the red banner to contact them about obsolete parts. Good to know.

Agemax - Yep, M12 seemed right to me but I couldn't get the pitch. I thought I tried a fine pitch M12 and it didn't work; So maybe it was 1.5...I don't know. Thanks, I'll try 1.25 and see how it runs.

Yes, that info I have. The part is obsolete on every site that I checked...and no description available re: dimensions of that specific bolt.
 
Dang...good find!
I swear I searched for at least an hour and a half...and came up empty, using Google. And on this site for, I dunno, thirty minutes.
Much obliged, Agemax.
 
I was told they have similar bolts but not the exact bolt.

It would be ideal to find an exact year parts bike for non-listed parts.

The 1.0 thread pitch is an oddity, especially in 33mm. The several specialty shops that I contacted didn't have 12M x 1.0.
I'm double checking with Alpha that what they have is 1.0, not 1.25.
eBay (China) is my friend apparently. Good thing I'm not in a hurry. :cool:

Thanks Grimly. I eventually found a couple on eBay for a couple bucks delivered...on a slow boat from China.
Shipping from Japan is about $21 but that's a good website to keep in mind in case there are (will be) more obsolete parts that I'll need on this rebuild. Good info!
 
Did anybody find out what the pitch of the bolt is mine rusted I can get it off site in Japan mentioned above but 26 euro with shipping bit to dear.If I knew the the pitch I'd try local bolt company
 
The pitch is 1.0. It's M12-1.0 x 40 and I should have an extra one. I bought lots of different bolts lately. So let me look around this evening and see if I can find it.
