    Hey all,

    Backed out of my garage to go to church this morning and take a ride afterwards.

    When I got home, this bolt was in the driveway where I would have been with the bike.

    Metal and patina match, but the head and thread don't.

    Ant help as to where this bolt came from is appreciated.

    I can't think of where..... that's a screw that goes into plastic judging by the threads. Airbox has a bunch but they are 20mm long and I don't think have the cross-head. Try rear cowl, two there 16mm long on the underside. That's about it...

    That's a good idea, but I have no Givi kit on the bike.

    Thanks for all your help! I'm going to look at the cowl after school today.

    Cheers!

    Ok, I think I figured it out.

    A while back I acquired a pool table, one of those bar-type ones. I think the bolt came from it as,

    A) there are other cross-thread bolts used in the assembly

    B) Mystery Bolt fits perfectly in each of four holes.

    C) Mystery Bolt is a perfect fit for the indents made on the wood around the hole.
