    Default tackform bolt

    greetings,

    i installed a tackform mount. it works great, but i would like to move it closer to the handlebar clamp. i need a shorter bolt than came with the mount.

    this is the bolt i would like shorter. i would cut down the sleeve.

    the bolt that the mount replaced is this:

    my questions are:

    -is there anything special about this bolt?
    -do i have to get a specific grade?
    -can i buy this in various lengths at the hardware store or do i need to order from a specialty fastener vendor?

    thank you for your help now and in the past.

    its a stainless steel, low head cap screw(original). don't need the low head. do need the rust proof kind. lowes, ace hardware, etc. its a MM screw as all are MM. you have fine thread and course thread in same sizes. just take your bolt, and match up size and get the length you want

    Thin Socket Screw, Scotch Grip, M10 .. Got this on the parts site but does not give the Grade.

    Grade 8 and above I would guess.

    If that is an F3 you should be able to cut the sleeve and use same bolt . The threads go thru the mount. Doesn't bottom out or interfere with steering. I did mine.
