Center handlebar bolts

[Fire Bike]

Trying to install gps mount... What the :cus:size is the allen bolt head? Have two sets of Allen wrenches in metric and SAE and none fit.

8mm, just checked .

M10 x 1.50

Got this off of a thread by NancysToy

Update: Sorry, I misread your post - thought you were asking for the size of the bolt.

Thanks apparently mine skips 8 mm

Yup on the allen - one of the two stripped for me - you can find my thread if this happens to you on how I got it out. Trying a TORX won't help as these are torqued in (as you should also torque check your new install for the 30ftlbs).

Hey Daryl - fellow "cheese head" here!

My set, too...

As I remember I had to go to Lowe's or Home Depot to buy one...

Got a set with a 7mm and it came right out. Now need to find power for the GPS I mounted there. Need to find switched power I can tap into.

It ain't easy being cheesey:roflblack:

They are not only tightened to torque specs but they have a special kind of loctite that makes them difficult to remove ... however mine were fairly well-behaved.
