Shogun25

so i was messing around trying to figure out what was wrong with my bike (probably not a good idea). and i noticed this:




(lever pulled out)




anyone know what size nut/bolt, if any, goes in there? thanks.

Without pulling mine, I can't be sure, but I believe that is a specialty bolt that has a shoulder. Fastest way to get it is probably the local stealership unless someone reading this thread has a spare.

You might get by with a standard bolt, but the threads might mess things up in there and I don't recommend it.

With a crack like that, I wouldn't trust it, even with a new bolt.

Good point, Fridg. I didn't notice the crack. I'd look on ebay for a replacement perch.

I lost my bolt last year. I went to the hardware store and bought a metric bolt and a plastic bushing. Worked well I have at least 2000 miles with it.

Greetings Shogun25,

Call Jack B. at Jacks Rebel Warehouse. From his posts, nuts and bolts are free.

They're free with anything that you buy for the bike. If he bought a hand brake the bolts would come with it.

Shogun, sorry, but if you stated what year your bike is, I already forgot! It would be helpful if you would post what year Reb you have and then ask the question. You would get a lot more accurate answers that way.

It is a specialty bolt, but I agree that you should just replace the whole thing. I wouldn't trust that crack, crack kills. The last thing you want is to go to pull your clutch in and have it not work, and be stuck in gear. Trust me I know too well. You should be able to put just about any clutch lever on there as long as it fits your handle bars. My bolt used to always start unscrewing while I was riding. Everytime I pulled in the clutch it would come out a little bit more. That's when I noticed that the nut on the bottom fell off. Luckily I didn't ever loose the bolt. Now I have an acorn nut with a locking washer keeping it on nice and tight, and it works great.
