Default Rear Tailight Bolts

after reading the very helpful tips for new owners post I found out that one of the 3 bolts holding up my tailight assembly were missng already (only 2k miles). does anyone know what size these bolts are and if I can just pick them up at home depot?


I'm planning air intake, chip, pipes, and lowering

Pull one of the remaining two out and take it with you to HD or the hardware store and match it up. Make sure you get there by car, not the bike . Guessing the bolt will be an M8, about 3/4" long.

Go to an Ace hardware store, not that you need them in this particular instance, BUT they not only carry the right size, but they carry them in chrome too.

This happened to me the other day. Tail assembly dropped while riding and scraped up my tag on the tire. The bolt size is M6 but you won't find the exact bolt it came with at a hardware store. You'll just need to buy a regular bolt. I used a nut just in case.

Hardware store bolts are fine, and get extra as it's not worth ordering genuine Suzuki bolts - you will have to order the allen bolts through them though.

And above all use Locktite! (speaking from experience)

Cheers.
