I have built 2 sissybar/racks for the bikes and I want to be certain that I have the right bolts. The 2 listed on the Honda parts fiche say 10mm x 28mm long and 10mm by 40mm long for the rear and middle rear fender side rails. I need to add 2 inches for my saddlebag stays, (need to be that long if I want no interference/wear with front of saddlebag and rear shock) so I'm looking at bolts 80 and 90mm long. The ones I've found are 1.5 mm pitch which I think is standard for that size bolt but I know I have engine bolts on other Japanese bikes that are 10mm x 1.0 pitch (fine thread). Can anyone confirm the 1.5 pitch for me please? In case you don't know how to check - it's 1.5 mm from highest point on one thread to highest point on the next. Thanks

My first thought was 1.25 as well... You would have to take a bolt out so take it with you to buy the others and match the thread.

Thanks guys, unfortunately the only bike here is a 750 at a dealer and I don't think he's gonna be that accommodating as to taking out a bolt. I'll just have to get some 1.25 ones as well and hope for the best.

Cool, thanks Ray. Gotta believe that dg and spinal know though so don't put yourself out any. Guess I should reaffirm too that it is a 10mm not an 8mm bolt right?

Kiri if it's the 4 bolts holding on the rear fender rail and fender where you attach the sissy bar they are 10mm x 1.25 pitch as i said above i had to replace mine and i also measured them today with thread tap.
