Tank bolt size

[Bergman16]

Hey everyone—I lost the that hold the rear of the SG tank on. I think it’s the same across XS models. Partzilla has them but shipping is 3 times the price of the bolt. 8mm maybe? I can’t check as I’m not in the same county as the bike right now.

Thx

Hi Steve,
My note from when i was shopping a few years ago.
M8 12 but sadly I did not write down what thread pitch ?
5/16 x 1 1/4 Fender washer

Should be 1.25 thread pitch. A front fender bolt would be the same pitch and size, maybe a bit longer.

Thanks gents. Hoping I can get it back on the road this fall, but family issues might prevent it. Venturer tank, no octy proving a bit harder than I had anticipated.

Steve,
I have an extra one here that I can send to you if you want to PM your address.

Go to a local hardware store, they will have them.

All of the information about the bolt is in the part number.

Any M8 coarse (1.25mm pitch) thread bolt will fit. buy long and cut to length if needed
