[QUOTE="Succubus, post: 1144300, member: 59612"] Well, I don't know about Japanese bolts, but you can get metric bolts with the right length and pitch that have the same size head as the bolts on these old bikes. I haven't had any problems with any of the bolts on my eight bikes. Sometimes the Japanese manufaturers used bolts with an odd length, so you go slightly longer and cut them to length with a Dremel. I'm talking fastener supply house, not local hardware store or Home Depot. You can also replace all the phillips head screws with socket head bolts and never strip a head again, and take your choice of silver zinc plated soft bolts, black hardened zinc plated bolts, bolts with a different plating or no plating or stainless steel bolts. It's not just about funtionality, it's also about looks. Besides, I like to know that I'm not relying on 30-year-old steel bolts to keep my motor running and my face out of the dirt. Patrick [/QUOTE]
