ALWAYS check your bolts! 3 Years, 4 Months ago  
Sooo I got some LED lights for christmas (Joe Florida LED) and installed them last week. (looks cool BTW) I finished everything up late Friday night ready for a Sat ride up the coast to Santa Barbara very beautiful ride about 225miles the Roadie ran great!
So today I decided to install my other christmas gift, a Barnetts spring clutch conversion I got to remove the seat and look at the bottom of the tank and the bottom tank bolt is gone! Dunno if I forgot to put it in left it on my battery and lost it or didn't tighten it. I'm really bummed!
Anyways moral of the story double check ALL the bolts when you are done to make sure you didn't forget anything or not tighten them!

Tank boltless,

Steven

Bummer Steven.

Anyone know the pitch of that bolt so he can get one at the hardware store? I think it's a 10mm head but that doesn't mean much.

Whenever you break out the tool, it important to check your nuts when you're done...
