Anyone know the size of the bolt that holds on the front shock absorber cover? It is probably short and fat, like.....

Yup mine did the same.

Thanks, Bill. I should have something close to that.

10mm?

You forget, here in the good ole US of A, we still use units of length based on the length of a Roman soldiers foot and three barley grains end-to-end.


From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch
Quote:
An Anglo-Saxon unit of length was the barleycorn. After 1066, 1 inch was equal to 3 barleycorn, which continued to be its legal definition for several centuries, with the barleycorn being the base unit.[2] One of the earliest such definitions is that of 1324, where the legal definition of the inch was set out in a statute of Edward II of England, defining it as "three grains of barley, dry and round, placed end to end, lengthwise".[
Guess I'd better measure the distance traversed in vacuum by light
in 1/299792458 of a second and divide that by Raputtak's constant

Mine said goodbye too, after I got the GTS back from a crash repair. Oh well.

I can tell from Salima's GTS that the original is black and looks to be plastic. Mine is now silverish and metal

Anything that fits in the holes and isn't too short or too long will be the right size.
