From basket case to almost complete.
Time to mount the side cowls onto the bike however the top threaded hole on both sides of the frame are M8 and the part number for the screws (92150-1553) are M6.

Please see photo's attached and if anyone can confirm if these holes should be M6. Perhaps someone (previous owner) drilled and tapped these out to M8 for some unknown reason. Or are they meant to be M8 and I have been given the wrong mounting hardware???? Who knows?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks
