Spec on handlebar bolts?

[fecalpeanut]

Greetings! Pretty sure my handlebar bolt bushings are shot. Bolts are tight, but handlebars move around. Ordered new bushings, but I'm also thinking maybe the bolts might be compromised from excess movement, but I can't seem to find any online. The reason I'm concerned is one time my bike fell over on the shifter. A few weeks later I'm going down the road and it broke off. Don't want that to happen with my handle bars.

Head to ur local Ace or other hardware store. Grab the proper length grade 8 bolts.

Handle bars bolts are 1/2" and they shouldn't be hurt if all it is is the handle bar bushings bushing worn...plus there is a steel sleeve on the inside of the bushings that the bolts go thru...bolts should be fine
