Author Message   Beardo Posted on Monday, April 07, 2014 - 03:44 pm:        OK, I have parts books that cover the WP and Showa upside down forks, but I don't have any that cover the M2. What size are the four pinch bolts?   Jayvee Posted on Monday, April 07, 2014 - 06:21 pm:        If you mean regular M2 triple-clamp fork-tube pinch bolts, they are 7/16 - 14 x 1 3/4" long. I just replaced mine with black Holo-Krome, the originals got a little jaded looking.   Buelljunkie Posted on Monday, April 07, 2014 - 08:19 pm:        I think he may mean the axle pinch bolts..? If so, I could use this info as well...one of mine is missing!   Beardo Posted on Tuesday, April 08, 2014 - 07:20 am:        I finally found my bin full o metric. 8-1.25X 47ish. If memory serves, and it's been many years, I believe they are flange head bolts. Anyone who has the exact info, feel free to chime in and correct my information.   Jayvee Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2014 - 05:17 pm:        They're flange heads, and I think the spec says 40mm long, but I replaced mine with 45mm. They still don't have any thread sticking out the back, but use all the thread available in the fork slider. The originals had a little gap behind the bolt, looked like some wasted threading.
