Hey guys...anyone know the thread size of the screws that hold the instrument cluster to the bars on a Roadster? I noticed that the one I have holding my RAM mount ball on is rusting....can't have that so I need to order a stainless one

They don't have a 2013 listed but it should be the same.

Bikebandit should be put in your favorites. ;)
 
Got it...problem is it needs to be about 60mm long to accommodate the RAM ball...not very common in stainless. Not to worry, will soldier on and find the appropriate replacement...
 
it is a M5 which means it is a 5 mm metric thread your Industrial Hardware store may have them in various lengths otherwise try your local boating chandler that or any good sail boat supply shop, hope that helps if worst comes to worst I'll pick one up here and send it to you but I am not sure they make them in 60mm long and also what sort of head do you want hex key cup heads are generally most likely to come in that length.
I am about to go down there (my local industrial hardware store) in the next hour I will report back as to whether they make them that long
 
locally I can get almost any bolt in any size etc etc.
after checking it out here is what I found they only had hex drive up to 30mm but have got 75mm in a panhead Phillips head, in hi tensile (black Steel) they do have what you want
They said they could order in the 60mm x M5 but you would have to buy a box of 100 :eek: so that the best I could do if you want the panhead Philips drive 75mm x M5 let me know but I'm sure you should be able to get what you need StateSide:)
