    "Guessing metric?"

    It's a Japanese bike. EVERYTHING is metric.

    Case bolts only go to 7.2 ft/lb; don't overtighten.

    Take note that the bolts are not all the same length, be sure to keep track of which ones go where.

    I said "guessing metric" since this was a junkyard find....many bolts were switched, so I am switching them back.

    If you are in St. Louis I am just west of ya on M46. Over in Edmore.
