LOOONG CASE BOLTS for CL/CB450?

[sleazy]

hello- in the middle of a build and I'm looking at replacing the case bolts on a '71 CL450.



some of the original case bolts sheared off upon disassembly and frankly, i dont trust the ones that are left.

i called Z1 from which I got a very thorough head/side cover kit and they sent me to Carpy's. Carpy had nothing in the sizes i really need.

what i'm looking for are the long bolts... like M6 x 90, 125 and M8 x 71 and 132mm


help?

I got all of my engine bolts and some others from www.stainlesscycle.com

You can buy individual bolts or kits.

great source, but unfortunatley even they fall a bit short...

longest they go in M8 is 90. bike needs 132s...

I work in the fastener business and the 132 will be a custom length.
You might search on some of the parts sites and see what is close.
I replaced the rear engine bolt in my Honda with one from a newer Kawasaki
Will have to take a little off so that it sits flush with the nut but overall worked great.

I did see a M8 X 130 on Bike Bandit for a Triumph but it was a Torx ad not sure of the overall shape of the bolt.

Good Luck.

strangely enough- the weirdest/hardest to find M8 are still available as a genuine part! go figure. so ordered them up from Ronnie's. everything else can be had (or shortened) from available sources.

thanks.

(hope this helps somebody in the same situation.)

Which bolt are you looking for?

Well for bikes like the CB750 DOHC they no longer make engine bolts available.
Also the other bike I am building 1979 XS1100F is even worse for finding parts.
