Vance Posted January 20, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2008 While working on the bike I noticed a bolt missing. It is the lower of the two bolts that hold on the bracket for the rear brake light switch. It can be seen by either looking between the floor board and the frame, or by looking up from underneath. I have a picture of each, if that helps. Can someone tell me what size bolt goes in there? I tried looking in the shop manual, without much luck. Perhaps it is the same size bolt as the upper one.(?)

Eck Posted January 20, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2008 Vance, I just went out and put a wrench on mine... It is a 14mm. It appears to be a 14mm threaded stud with a 14mm cap head nut screwed on to the end of it for cosmetics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted January 21, 2008 Eck, thanks for going to the trouble of checking that out for me. You wouldn't have happened to notice if it was the same as the upper bolt would you (same length, etc.)? Since I have to get a replacement, I need to know wha to ask for. If it's the same as the upper bolt, I will take it out and find a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Rush Posted January 21, 2008 Share #4 Posted January 21, 2008 While I was out looking at the radial arm casters springs I took a quick peek at the bolts/nuts. The two nuts appear to be the same. I couldn't tell for sure about the studs. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful :sign13: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted January 21, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 21, 2008 Yes, they are both the same... Take the top one out and head to Lowes, Home Depot or better yet..go to ACE hardware... Ace Hardare carries lots of metric bolts and chrome ones at that... Vance, You can locate the hardware your missing here (reference page D7): http://www.venturerider.org/private/RSVparts.pdf You are missing the following hardware from what I can tell looking at your photos: Part identified as: #7 = 90176-10075-00 Crown Nut, quantity of (1) missing Part identified as: #8 = 90170-10206-00 Nut, quantity of (1) missing Part identified as # 6 = 95827-11080-00 Bolt, quantity of (1) missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted January 21, 2008 Share #7 Posted January 21, 2008 Vance, I forgot to mention a strong caution note here... I highly reccomend you do not ride that bike until you repalce the bolt and nut... that is a bolt in the frame assembly where two pieces of the frame attach....... yep, get it replaced before you take the chance of a possible "last" ride...

Vance Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share #8 Posted January 21, 2008 Will do, Eck. I thought it just held the bracket, but evidently it's more important than that. Also, thanks for the Parts Manual. I needed one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
