i just want the dia size and length of the underside of the the head nuts,
i think it is 14mm dia x about 50mm long.
i could remove and measure one of mine but i am reluctant to loosen a watertight head on a whim.
i am thinking of making some "custom" head nuts if i can source some cheap material.
if anyone has one on the shelf they could measure for me that would be great.
cheers mark.

Mark.
Whew!! I had to shovel through 10 foot drifts of snow to get to the garage, to get you this priceless info, so here it is:
Bolt dia. 13.84 mm x 82 mm to the washer face.
Washer face: 4.5 mm thick x 24.1 mm dia.
Bolt head: std. 14 mm w/ dome top approx 9 mm tall.
Thread is 10 mm x 1.25 tp x 33 mm deep.
Now I'll slug my way back to the garage to put the bolt and caliper away. OH!! Woe is me!
Cheers.

Re: buffalo cylinder head tube nuts
thanks fred ,
i am sweating like a "bank robber in the snake que" its 84 degrees and overcast here.
texas you gotta love it.
how is you transplant going with your messed up bike.
and it would be great to meet up next year at the gap if you can make it.
i have the front end off the old girl at the moment.
(headstock bearings, new harness, and try and repaint fork ears and headlight bucket while i am in there.)
well back to the sauna(garrage).
