bodywork - left side radiator shroud

Piece tried to fly off today, after getting home it seems I completely
lost the two bolts that mount radiator shroud on the left side. I'm
not sure what else. I pulled a bolt from the right side and they dont
match, there are no threads in the tab, and it's definately not a 6mm
anything (6mm-1.0 x 16mm w/ captive washer on the right side).
I can secure it, but just wondering if someone can shoot me a pic of
the area to make sure I didn't lose anything more.

Thumbtrap43,
I think all you lost were the bolts and nuts. I don't have a stock set
up on mine as I replaced the hardware with stainless. I put the bolt in
from the rear so the nut is in the front and easy to hold. I use a long
#2 phillips screwdriver to tighten the bolt. I think I'm also using lock
washers in this application.
Best,
Jeff Saline

centerstand and swingarm lube

The centerstand (Afrika, KLR.com) works great. However, it squeezes
the frame enough that getting the Unitrack lever in and out is nearly
impossible. So, if you have a centerstand, you should probably
consider removing it and using a motorcycle lift when performing
swingarm maintainance.
