[big dude]

I just broke the bottom shock bolt on 86 vr. Does anyone have extra bolt, or know where to find.yamaha site says see dealer (doesn't sound good) will call them asap.

I got one. Just pulled a shock off for the Butt Butler. He didn't need the hardware. I threw all the bolts in a box. Give me an idea what to look for and it is yours.

You should be able to take the broken bolt to a good hardware (NOT Big Box) store and they can match it up for hardness and size. It should be exact same diameter so it fits snug back throught the mounting hole. If there is any play, the movement of the shock and links will eventually break the bolt again.

 

Good luck,

Big Dude, just noticed you're down there by North Vernon, should be able to go to your local hardware guy and find it.

I took these cruddy cell phone pics of the bolt. Let me know if it is the correct one.

The discoloration is grease. The pivot was pretty well lubed.

I sent you a PM. I need address including zip code.
