Here's another one for a scooter. It's only 1cm shorter than spec. Man, I wish it were that easy. Although I haven't been to any hardware stores or auto parts stores, it looks like 95% of exhaust manifold studs have the same threads on each side of the stud. I've only been able to find stepped studs, made to withstand heat, from niche stores on the Internet and even most of the time those are way too short. It looks like Honda only made the 6-8x52 studs for a couple of years. And even then, most of the time they're different lengths. I know I could use something a little shorter or a little longer but my searching on the Internet has revealed very little results. Stepped studs are just hard to come by. Finding something with a length that fits my application is nearly impossible. Home dept has studs, lowes has studs, ace has studs. But they're meant for wood. Or they're only 20mm long. Or they're 8-10 instead of 8-6. If you find something that's 8mm to 6mm step stud and between 40-60 mm long, rated for an exhaust manifold, please let me know. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
