Default Riser bolt 883

Working on my wife's 883.

Anyone know what size head the bolt under the riser is? Looks like maybe 3/4 but I don't have one offhand to test and would like to buy the correct size the first time.

When asking questions like that it helps us if you tell us what model and year the bike is. You can also find that sort of info on-line here. If it's the bolt that goes up into the riser from under the top tree it's probably a: #3605, BOLT 1/2-13 X 2-1/2 HEX HD. (GRADE 5), but use that link to check.

Thanks for the link wasn't aware of that site.
