Rocker cover bolts
« on: July 04, 2020, 09:09:17 AM »
Hi all, I'm after a set of stainless rocker cover bolts for my 750 k3.
Anyone know a good source please? UK preferred.
Cheers!

I used SS JIS head screws from Megapacks - bought one length and cut down. It was a few years ago but here's Megapacks link
https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/megapacks?_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2754 - you'll have to trawl through their product o find them. Use some copper grease on the threads to avoid the SS to ali reaction

If you can't be bothered to cut down, Zed Parts do a variety of different size JIS stainless bits.

I've just done the same.  From what I've listed, the bits are as follows:

M6      40mm  x4
M6      50mm  x1
M6      63mm  x10  (Zed do either 60mm or 65mm)
M6      75mm  x2
M6      80mm  x2

That should be all of the bolts inc. the two that are inside the breather cover, but check more authoritative sources first.

Incidentally, unless you've got the engine out of the frame you might struggle to fit the central bolts - those under the frame/coils are obscured from above when the engine is in the frame, so you'll find it hard to tighten them down.  If the engine's in the frame, you're probably better off with Allen head bolts.
