Chaps,
Ordered a replacement side stand bolt and the new item is a tad longer. Any ideas why the difference in length? Real OEM states that the length required for a 75S is 50 mm, which is the longer bolt , but it protrudes too far and will interfere with the clutch connecting bracket.
And just to add to the confusion, the bolt head sizes are different as well. 16 & 17mm.
Thoughts, ideas, explanations?
