(someone asked me what a cushion lever is, a cushion lever is that part that bolts to the frame that the dog bones bolt to. all these fasteners are for the rear suspension)
If you're doing any modification to the rear suspension, it is a good idea to switch all the fasteners to grade 8.8 or higher bolts, and nylock nuts. Here's a list I put together, this is for a 98+ 600. Bolts will work for 98+ 600 and 750. It is possible that they will work on the pre 98's, but that is your responsibility. This list is accurate for 98+ rear suspension bolts. The washers are on there are because the OEM nuts are flange nuts, and if you're using a nylon lock nut, you can't find flange nuts, at least I couldn't. Just use the nylock nuts with a washer. Also the OEM hex bolts have a flared head, the after market grade 8.8 metric bolts just have a hex head, use the bolt and a washer.
I found all the fasteners at www.boltdepot.com
(BTW, item # 7276 are 120mm long, OEM are 125mm long, but the added 5mm is not going to effect the outcome.)
Item # 1 (x2) = M10x1.25-52mm(OEM) Grade 8.8 item# 6315 = M10x1.25-55mm (M10 washer on both)
Item # 2 = M14x1.5-125mm (OEM) Grade 8.8 item# 7276 = M14x1.5-120mm
Item # 3 = M14x1.5-62mm (OEM) Grade 8.8 item# 7270 = M14x1.5-65mm (M14 grade 10.9 washer item# 7745)
Item # 4 (x2) = M10x1.25 (OEM and Grade 8.8 item# 6890) (M10 grade 10.9 washer item# 7743 with grade 8.8 nylock nuts)
Item # 5 M14x1.5 item# 6894 (M14 washer item # 7745 with item #5 on #3)
As you can see in the photo, the M14x1.5-120mm bolt without washers has plenty of area. It is side by side with the OEM bolt and nut, and the grade 8.8 bolt with the Nylon locking nut has the same distance from head to nut as the OEM. The nuts both nylon and OEM are hand tight on the bolt, they are not torqued to spec, just tightened by hand.
As you can see in this picture, the grade 8.8 bolt and nut with the OEM spacer and dog bones, has plenty of room. Part # 62317-40C10 is item # 8 or 13 on the microfiche.
This is a side by side photo with the OEM M14x1.5-62mm and grade 8.8 M14x1.5-65mm bolt. As you can see, even with the washers the after market has plenty of area.
Here is a side by side image of the OEM M10x1.25-52mm and the grade 8.8 M10x1.25-55mm bolt. As you can see even with the washers, the after bolt has plenty of area.
This is a photo of the after market bolt, nut, and washers in the rear shock, with the OEM spacer, plenty of room to torque the nut.
