    Spent the day spilitting the subframe to fit some Sato hooks, amongst other things. When I had finished and was tidying the gargage, I found these on the floor !

    Not certain they came from the bike but.............

    Does anybody recognise them as being part of a Fireblade?!!!

    They are not threaded inside.

    The thin one is used in a number of places, front and rear of tank shelter/cover etc, the thicker one is from the rear sub frame, if you look under the rear seat they are between the plastic under tray and the sub frame.

    Any M6 - 1.0mm thread bolt should do :)

    And yeah those spacers at the rear need to be fitted before it goes back on :(

    I need some of the tank spacers, looked all over. What are they called? An ordinary washer and threadlock isn't quite the same
