Where can I get a bolt for my kick stand?
Hi Gang,
I lost one of the bolts that secures my kickstand to my swingarm. I took the other bolt off, and went to my local hardware store as well as Home Depot. I could not find a match. Any idea as to where I can get one locally? Is it best to just order an OEM bolt on line? Anybody know what size I need?
Thanks All,
D.

You shouldn't have any problems finding a bolt at any decent hardware store that will work. Yes, it won't look anything like the factory one but it will do the job.

Word of advice when re-bolting your kickstand.
This is a chronic problem with kickstands installed on swingarms. This has happened to me, mine stripped as well, tapped out larger etc. To avoid this, clean the threads in the swingarm (aluminum), use lots of loctite, whichever colour is the best bond, and torque correctly. You don't want to strip the threads, and you don't want it to fall off again.
Good luck.
