Need side stand spring bolt length size

[lljjmm]

Bolt broke on side stand that holds the spring. Going to replace it with a common bolt. Don't have both pieces to measure. What would be its length?

A standard bolt regardless of hardness will not stand up to the use. You gain nothing.

I don't follow you.  Are you saying the original part is made of some special titanium-like substance that can't be duplicated by even a (metric) class 10.9 or 12.9 bolt?  People have replaced that special part with an appropriate assembly of bolt and nuts.

I have a brand new bolt and spring still in the plastic bag, if you want it let me know. $10

If you look at the OEM part and compare it to a regular bolt, it's very easy to see the cross sectional difference is considerable and probable in the area of two or more times greater. Which will translate into greater strength and able to withstand the rigors of constant use and strain.

6 x 1.0 x 50 is what I used on a trip.  Honda has them for a snow blower.  Works but not exactly right.  Had to remove the kickstand safety.  I think I needed 2 or 3 nuts as well.
