I removed my Easy Bracket mounted saddlebags today to find that the front bolt on one side of the fender is missing. i suspect when I was fiddling around trying the Easy Bracket on the two forward bolts I must have neglected to replace or tighten one of them. I have five out of six bolts holding the rear fender and I don't travel with a pillion passenger so its not a big deal but i want to replace asap. Does anyone know the size of the bolt and what my chances are finding one in a hardware store,

If not can I order this stuff direct from Triumph or do I have to go through a dealer?

thanks

M8 x 25 (or 35 , depending where the long ones go) flanged hex head. But regular hex head should do you. Get stainless or coated if you can.

Thanks Matt you steered me in the right direction but fyi the front is larger and is M10 1.25 (fine pitch) 50

Was able to find one eventually at Lowes. It has a larger head than the OEM one but it will work fine in the meantime
