I'm looking for a right footpeg bolt size--'74 GT380

Post by jbswear »

Looking at www.bikebandit.com -- their parts fiche shows the second, smaller bolt that holds on the right pilot's foot peg as being #34,but it's listed as 34-1 on the parts list.

Can anybody tell me whether that's the proper bolt that I need (I've already ordered the larger bolt that goes in the front position on the peg).
Thanks!

It's the right bolt but won't have a domed head like the original bolt had. Most of the replacement now have a 'sunken' head.
CD was sent Monday afternoon :)
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Thanks!

I'm not worried about "original" replacements. The bike is ugly as sin now with rusted chrome, a rusted/dented/modded GT 750/550? tank, and rust everywhere else.

I just want it running so I can rip my SV apart and finish painting it. Don't wanna be completely bikeless for three months!

Another avenue for you to consider if you do want something resembling the original - I've bought generic metric stainless steel bolts, and then 'crowned' and polished them using a combination of a small Dremel sanding drum and metal polishing. They turned out OK - and since I charge myself very reasonable shop rates they were quite affordable ! 8)

If at first you don't succeed, just get a bigger hammer !
