I am putting my money on battery bolts. The kit you installed probably had longer bolts. Thread locker is still visible on the threads.
10MM head on that bolt.
Thanks guys. Sounds like the concensus is their battery bolts. I did change the battery out myself last year. Pretty sure I didn't leave the bolts in the battery compartment but can't say I didn't leave them on my tool box. Thanks for the heads up on the bracket.
Brake caliper bolts, also 10MM head.
So dont throw that wrench away.
I am not a fan of the metric system, even less of a fan of mixed metric and Imperial. Pints of beer and foot long subs arent going away.
I went to England for first time last year. Spent 6 weeks there. I was about an hour in to my drive to my destination when I realized their road signs and speedometer are in miles and mph. Really threw me for a loop. Yet anytime you talk to someone it's meters, centimeters etc.

Being from there, I can tell you it's a bizzare mix of metric and imperial. People are weighed in pounds or stone (1 stone = 14 Lbs). if you take your dog to the vet it'll be weighed in Kg. Foodstuffs are pints, grammes, UK gallon (20% more than the US gallon). Cars mostly come with speedometers in MPH but motorcycles are often in KPH. Most people are familiar with inches or CM and both are used depending on what you're measuring.
Personally I MUCH prefer metric as it's so simple to use (everything is tens instead of 12s). The U.S. Weights and Measures standard has officially been metric since the mid seventies.
