Default helicoil

Got my bike buttoned up then went to torque my risers on my bars and ......stripped the bolt. actually stripped the internal threads on the risers. Anyone know what size helicoil to look for?

my guess would be 3/8 16 but just take the bolt or a new one down to the parts house and ask them..

I got 'er 5/16 18 thread count. I think it's actually stronger than the stock set up. I stripped both bolts closest to the tank. Torqued em good and tight and went for a ride all good. Helicoil worked good and was easy to do.
Thanks
