    I seem to have mislaid the 3 bolts from my original exhaust. I think they may have been in the toolkit that was stolen in the break-in.

    Where is the best place to get replacements from?

    Do they need to be from a bike shop, or are bolts just standard thread sizes, just get the right diameter?

    I need to get some pretty quick as I've just sent the shock off for a service & powder coat, and it's due it's MOT as soon as that comes back...

    There are a couple of good places in Swindon to get fastners if you know what you need or can take in a sample. My preference is Wessex Fastners in old town or south west fastners which I think have now moved somewhere over stratton or beyond.

    Which 3 bolts? I presume you mean the three that attach the standard silencer to the flange on the transfer pipe? :-? What did you use to attach your "race" can then? Can you not use the same three?

    Probably something like M8 x 20 cap screws (1.25 pitch)

    Sorry Del!

    I didn't get chance to find out the size as was out last night. Will do it when I get back tonight. It's not urgent as the shock not due back for 2 weeks.
