Seaking Posted August 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 8, 2011 Can anyone confirm for me that if you're to install a Kuryaken Throttle Boss on your Kuryaken ISO grips that you need LONGER bolts as the stock end cap bolts aren't long enough? My throttle boss came without the bolts. The company I purchased them from sent me replacement bolts.. but guess what... TOO SHORT.. Basically same length bolts as what's on there now.. OK, so they sent another set, which they promised me would come out of an existing Throttle Boss package... and you guessed it... SAME short bolts.. Either someone is peeing on my leg and trying to tell me it's just the rain, or Kuryaken is shipping their throttle bosses with the wrong bolts.. Can anyone confirm for me before I start going ape shyte on someone? Nice that I have this chrome chunk of metal and no means of using it.. 4 months and waiting now.. Seems Quality Assurance and Customer Service is starting to take a nose dive with some big name companies out there... this ain't the way to cut corners to save money in a bad economy as annoyed customers simply won't be back..

aharbi Posted August 9, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 9, 2011 Yes, I needed the longer itty bitty bolts (hex screws) when I installed mine. But mine came with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoStars Posted August 9, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 9, 2011 The longer screws have 3/4" of thread whereas the shorter ones have about 1/2". I use the longer ones for the throttle boss and end weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted August 9, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2011 I'm not sure what the bolts look like, but is there any chance longer ones can't be purchased at ACE Hardware or Carr-McMaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted August 9, 2011 I've hunted all over town since MAY to located those bolts and none to be had around here... I HAD been hoping that the seller was going to be able to get their heads out of their assets and finally send me the proper bolts.. But alas no..

They usually have everything known to man listed on their website. Or.... try going directly to Kuryakyn.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look in my "junk box" but I believe I have a set or two of the longer bolts. I will let you know later today. If I do you may have them.

Ryana7769 Posted August 9, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 9, 2011 Mine came with the longer bolts. Sounds like your getting jerked around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoStars Posted August 10, 2011 Share #11 Posted August 10, 2011 According to my installation instructions, they are 4-40 x 9/16" socket head cap screws. Sounds pretty standard to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_One Posted August 10, 2011 Share #12 Posted August 10, 2011 Might have some floating around the extra bolt box too. Will check tomorrow. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Haywood Posted August 10, 2011 Share #13 Posted August 10, 2011 I would much appreciate them M8.. thanks.. Well I looked but can't find any, I will dig deeper tomorrow. I found plenty of the short ones. You shoud be able to get them at Ace is the place. Take one of the old ones in and tell them you need the about 1/2 inch longer.
