i got a si cage on my f4i. when i got it the guy said he couldnt get the bolt tight that goes infront of the headers.

long story short i knocked the bike over and when i got back home i looked at it and there was no bolt in it.


what bolt do you guys use to hold it together infront of your header pipes?

 

ummmm ....just find a bolt that fits through the hole with a nut it's not a special bolt. Mine is just a bolt with a nut

 

o...i was thinking it was something special rofl

 

3/8 bolt is what they send with it. The sockets tend to get stuck in the bar when you tighten it down, just lean the bike and tap the bar with a hammer and it should come loose.

 

for my 636 it came with a allen head bolt. the other end is threaded, so no nut is needed?

 

if you use a flanged head bolt and a flanged nut you can run the correct size bolt, but you will use a smaller socket so it won't get stuck in the hole.

the size you want is 10mm (or 3/8") but you want the flanged bolt head and flanged nut. that will keep the socket part smaller so it won't get stuck. if you use the normal size the socket barely fits in there then gets trapped.

 

my socket has been stuck in there for quite some time now, hopefully it will fly out and hit jboogie in the groin during a coaster

damn stuck socket!
crapsman socked got stuck...snap-on is pimp!!!:YEAH

 

10mm or 3/8

k about how long should i get? and should i have a washer on the other side?? or just a nut?
