    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.

Correct exhaust bolts

Use studs and nuts, it's much easier on the threads in the head. NAPA sells a great set for about $8.
 
One is 45mm and the other 40mm. Not sure what you need. Best to measure them. Bolts are measured for thread length, not including the head.

Good luck.
 
I ordered OEM bolts from a dealership when I replaced the exhaust gaskets on the GS1000 -- the exact part number. I wanted that original look, as much as possible. They sent me bolts that are much darker in color than OEM. Really ****ed me off.

If quality bolts are installed with antisieze, I don't see any disadvantage over studs & nuts, especially if original appearance is a factor.

Hmm -- I just noticed this doesn't answer your question at all. Ah, details...

Had the same experience. Many of the new hardware pieces they supply these days have different head markings too. Best to just restore your old hardware and skip on purchasing new if you can.
 
I bought stainless allens from http://dmpfasteners.com/index.php?id=1 using the Suzuki part numbers from the parts book. So far so good. The studs are a good idea, and stainless acorn nuts would look cool. I have bought quite a bit from these guys. When I wanted stainless allen fork pinch bolts with stainless acorn nuts, I had trouble finding the nuts, but these guys had them. Fastenall has been no help for me.

I think this is the answer, part 4-1 is 45mm, 4-2 is 40mm , you decipher it in the second half of the part number

4-1 BOLT
07130-0845B

diameter 8mm
length 45mm

you need to measure the bolts you have

That makes sense to me. I'll give it a shot.
