Do not re-use the old bolts, unless you want them to snap in the future. I got new ones from Buell in about 4-5 days. Don't know about the part # tho, I would put my money on what Al says. |

Do not re-use the old bolts, unless you want them to snap in the future. Buell does not tell you not to re-use them just to sell $3.00 bolts. There was extensive testing done and a process and procedure developed. Part of how a bolt works involves engineered stretching in several directions. Follow instructions. |
