    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.

Rear upper shock mount bolt

Does anyone know what size this is? Mine is missing and need to replace, but I cannot find out what size it is for the life of me. Z1 doesn't seem to to have it either.
 
Not sure if we are talking about the same part, but the rear upper shock mount bolt on my '82 GS1100GL has a 10x1.25 thread. I had one of the threads shear off of mine so I bought a bolt locally, cut the head of it off and welded the threaded portion onto the stud. Worked like a charm.
 
Thank you to both of you, at least I know where to order it online now if I cannot find it locally.

UncleBen, it's the nut that goes on the bolt that the top of the rear shock mounts to, right below the seat.
 
10 sounds right - I just ordered as many SS fasteners from Z1 as I could and wasn't sure of that measurement either, so I ordered 5 of every acorn nut. Oddly enough, SS metric fasteners are hard to find in Canada (at least in my corner). I'm not sure why I have to go back to you non-metric Americans to get my metric nuts and bolts, but I make sure to order in bunches so I don't have to wait 2 weeks everytime I need something new.
 
It's an M10 -1.25. I just went to the local fastener company and they measured it for me. They didn't have any though :(
 
Just had to confirm on the Z1 site - their acorns are 1.5 - it did seem to be a tight fit but couldn't have been that bad, considering that all 4 threaded on without major difficulty!
