Really dumb question:

I took my bike out of the garage this morning (first time this season) and realized I've misplaced the 2 front bolts, below the handlebars that hold the tank in place. I'm going to run to a hardware store, but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the size and length of the bolts I should be buying to replace them.

I've looked at some information online, and know I can order the oem parts, but I can't find the exact measurements.

Thanks a lot!

just to be clear: part #09139-06029

I can't find the actual measurement information....

M6x1.0

M6x1.0

Yeah, what he said.
M6x1.0, 1.0 being the thread pitch.
Not sure what length.
I'd think a 15mm would suffice but I dont have a 2nd gen.

thanks so much, edit: dackler, thanks for the length!

Just had the same thing kinda happen to me, yesterday my GF asked if i tightened all the bolts up after i took off the seats and panels to adjust the TPS, cause she was worried it would fall apart on me..

and here today I noticed my tank bolts are gone, that i forgot to tighten em and they shook loose and somewhere on the highway I'm sure....

So I'm off to Lowes in hopes to find the right bolt. Would rather have the allen-head style but my local dealer wants 4$ a bolt :|
