Rear Lower Link Bolt Size?

[PWillette]

Search function here still sucks...can someone tell me what size bolts (not part number) on the rear lower links?

I believe it’s 16mm. Only because 5/8 is very close (.005” difference) and I used a standard bolt to replace it. @Ducati1098 will know.
Did you break one? I did and blame it on the DV8 skid having too wide a slot to pull evenly on the bolt head.

Yep, M16 and 112mm long

Thanks my man. Didn't break one...I just use extra long bolts to set my adjustable lower links to match the original OEM link bolt hole center to center dimension. Insert long bolts through the OEM links then adjust the new links until they match exactly. Takes the guess work out. I had a matched set of long bolts but for life of me can't find them and couldn't remember the size.

Well 5/8 will definitely work for that and should be easier and cheaper to find.

Need 'em with the long un-threaded shank. My local Fastenal no help on either metric or standard. Two M16 x 280mm coming from McMaster-Carr for $18 delivered tomorrow.
