anybody have an idea where to get the shifter pivot bolt part number 24725-mk3-000, everywhere i look it seems as if its no longer made and out of stock. is there something i can buy at the hardware store that can be made to work?

Like this? 85-86 HONDA SHADOW VT1100C VT 1100 C BOLT, CHANGE PEDAL PIVOT GEAR SHIFT SCREW | eBay

Same part number as CMX450 according to the ad.

$50 for that? I would go to the hardware store or Menards, then use a grinder to make the head the shape that I needed. Menards has a surprisingly large inventory of metric chromed bolts. Of course, why buy chrome if you're just going to carve off most of the head!🙂🤯

Emil, I agree, but some folks don't have the tools to modify a bolt. I would try to find a stainless bolt, that way, it won't rust. Looking more closely at the picture, the head on a standard bolt may not be wide enough.

Seller does say to make an offer. It appears the seller has offered this for a year with no takers. Seller may take much less than what they are asking.

yeah thats the one i had found, i actually am asking for my brother, he has the 450. He isnt the do it yourself type of guy, and doesnt really know how to modify a bolt. if it were on my ride i would get a stainless bolt and figure out how to make it work, but he is 4 states away so i cant even tell him what size might work. I thought 50 bucks for a used bolt that might be just a likely to fail as the first one not to be the worlds best idea

I've seen bolts with heads like that used with T track clamping systems..
doubt that any are metric but may give you a direction to look

One of these would probably work. metric t-slot bolts | McMaster-Carr Maybe someone here with a 450 could measure theirs and report back.
