Bash plate nut size. Any ideas?

[Stevo]

I've lost one of the rear nuts off the bash plate on my 1200 GS.

The other one is corroded tight, so i can not remove it to match up a replacement.

So, do any of you techno heads know what nut i should look for.

Answers greatly appreciated

Thanks

They are M8 stiff nuts. You need a 13mm spanner or socket to facilitate fitting or removal.

Thanks SteveE - my wife thinks 'Stiff Nuts' is quite funny.

Thanks you've saved me some time

Cheers

careful though, one is a different size... one of the ones at the back if memory serves me correctly...

Stevo, both rear 'nuts' are the same size.
The front 'bolts' are different.

You need an M8 nut (13mm across the flats)

& torque it down to 19Nm (approx 14lbs)
