Anyone Know the correct size and length for OEM replacement mirrors for 96 Kat ? Bought new mirrors from Bike Bandit but no hardware. Went to Home Depot but to no avail.........too short. Thanks guys.........

They are M6 as I recall... but you aren't likely to find the length you'll need in a store. I special ordered some from a member that doesn't sell parts any more. The best bet is probably just to order the OEM ones.-Steve

Just was at the auto parts store looking for one for my pre. Mine measured out to about 7.5 cm long. They were M6-1.0. Not that I know what that means, but I know what works...ttfnComment

m6 is the diameter of the bolt, literally meaning 6 mm. 1.0 is the thread pitch in the case mentioned above, indicating 1.0 thread pitch [not 1.0 cm length as I originally posted]...but that's a fairing bolt, not one used for the mirrors. I'll see if I can dig up my old mirrors to measure the bolt lengths.
BTW I think the actual windscreen bolts are m5's with a .8 pitch...not certain about the pitch.Last edited by BigFish; 11-04-2009, 09:25 PM.Some people are primarily positive, others negative. Some argue about whether the glass is half full or half empty. Me? I drink the contents and call it empty.Comment

Re: Bolt sizes
Thanks guys for the info ! I went to my local bike mechanic shop and he had them laying on a bench and gave them to me, and you were all right---they were 6 mil and had to be over 2 inches or 80 mil-100 mil ( 3 inches )

Just be careful not to get ones that are too long.. that will cause other issues.Originally posted by Kat96 View PostThanks guys for the info !
