Need handlebar to handgrip bolts

Post by Murchadh »

Looking for the bolts that attach the handle bars to the handgrip, that is from the inside outward. I bought the bike with Ilium risers, but I didn't get the original bolts and now I can't remove them. Does anyone have a pair?

Hi Murchadh,
Were they the M8X30 like in the 2007? It is obvious from the image that David. posted and several videos online on installation of the extenders that it is a 8mm Socket Head Screw Cap.
The only thing that needed ruling out would have been the length. Just by eyeball'ing it, the 3cm looks about right - as well as looking at the center unit that the bars mount into.
These bolts aren't on oddity. I can find them in every hardware store around where I live, and many auto parts stores, as well.
In any case, I'm glad that you were able to remedy the situation. Unfortunately, I think my local parts guy must be on holiday. Maybe I'll find some time and extract a bolt from my 2018 for confirmation and get back here to confirm.

For future reference, what size were they, thank you.
