Just noticed that I have a broken pinch bolt for my fork leg,managed to get the broken piece out.Thought I would remove the one from the other leg and just get a bolt to match,well the other bolt is broken as well.So what I need to know is what is the length of the bolt supposed to be,I know that it is 5/16 dia. and is supposed to be grade 5,just need the length.
The bike is a 1994 FLSTC

Are you talking about the bolt on the lower tree, with the head of the bolt facing forward? That one is common to see broken.

 

yes that is the bolts that are broken,just need to know the length

I don't have a parts manual with me. I'm fairly sure it is a 7/16" fine thread. Can you use the old threads that you pulled out as a guide?

 

It is part #4729 Bolt,7/16-20 x1 1/4hex.hd(grade 5 steel) in the parts manual 95-96. This for a 1995 Heritage Softail .
