Size of the bolts for battery terminals on 2008 K9 EFI

[spiderjason]

Whats up guys!!!!! Can anyone tell me what is the size of the bolts for the battery terminals on a 2008 K9 EFI... I think on all 2008 K9's the S&S motor size was a 117 but mine is a 117 motor. Anybody know any place that would sell the bolts besides a Big dog dealership... I really don't have a big dog dealership close to me... Figured Napa, home depot or some place like that I should be able to pick some up...

I had my battery out of the chopper and I keep the bike at my parents house... My Mom got the bright idea to move the bike to the other garage... I had my bolt just sticking through all the leads to keep them all together... Of course, I didn't expect the bike to be moved... So, now they are gone!!!!!

Thanks

I think they are a 10mm head and about 12mm long, but to be sure, just take the battery to the parts place.

Yea, that was my next plan to just take the battery with me... Sounds like two of you agree on the size might just take the battery just in case...

Well, I actually had to take my parents truck to the shop... On my way to the shop I stopped at a couple of local places but all they sold was standard size bolts... Figured what the hell and asked the mechanic at the shop if I could buy a couple of bolts from him... I lucked out he found a couple that will work...

Anyway, I need a new battery but I think this battery will at least let me start my bike and run the bike... Until I can get to the Harley or bigdog dealership... Got the battery on the charger right now... We will see...

It would be good to make sure your old bolts arn't layin in the bike somewhere, that they could cause a problem later if they shook loose. Like in the belt pulley, shifter lever, etc. Might check it out good.

You know what you are right... I will look around the bike better... I did look for them already but sometimes something that small you can overlook... I did start the bike and rode a few miles yesterday... Nothing brings a bigger smile to your face riding these bikes besides banging some hot girl!!!!
