85 200x gas tank swap??

[Newrider]

so if I order this all I need is 4 more nuts and bolts and I'll be OK mounting the fender? This is my first time doing this my bike never had a front fender

Just the 6mm dia X 25mm flange bolts, no nuts. The bolts thread into the cross member of the front forks. It might be a good idea to pull the tire and make sure there are no broken off bolts in the crossmember.

Yes the thread pitch is important. If you get the wrong pitch the bolts won't fit. Thread pitch is the distance between the threads on a metric bolt. US threads are measure by TPI or threads per inch:

It appears that there is only one thread pitch for 6mm which is 6mm x 1.0 which is also called "standard". So the flange bolts you need would be 6mm x 1.0 x 25mm. This is what a flange bolt bolt head looks like:



Hope this helps!

Where'd you find those? Seems like a decent price.

ETA: Nevermind. Looks like I need to visit the3WW parts store a little more often.........

Thread pitch matters... unless using an impact... just kidding don't do that whatever you do lol

I wasn't aware that I didn't need the nuts.. Thanks!! That's why I asked if the thread pitch mattered.. I just talked to a guy who is parting out a 200x and has been parting it out for almost a year he has all the hardware and a gas tank for 70$ the tank is in perfect condition ( on the outside!!) who knows what the inside looks like, I should ask for pics.. I have my tank soaking in vinager now for a couple days waiting on the red kote should be here by tomorrow I'm gonna rinse it out with baking soda and water then dentured alcohol dry and see how I make out with the red kote before I buy a tank.. I hope this works for me!!! Lol I would never use a impact on the wrong threaded bolts haha no worries. I have read and seen alot of videos with the red kote working great but also them few horror stories... Wish me luck!!!

I finished up the red kote in my tank last night , looks pretty good and seems to have sealed up my problem.it says to wait 4 days or so to put gas in, I'm pretty confident it will work I followed all the directions ..ill let yas know in a couple days

[Newrider]

this was my problem u can see the red kote came through and sealed up the pin holes and did it's job

[Newrider]

I just ordered the collars gromits and washers from 3ww parts store ,i was wondering if ya ever got a chance to check out the thread pitch ibwould need on the flange bolts. Thanks, mike
