I recently changes the fork seals on my 1981 Honda CB650 and when I was looking in my Haynes manual I thought it said to torque the axle holder nuts to 40 - 47 ft lbs. It is supposed to be 13 - 18 ft lbs. according to the online shop manual. I just stripped out the nut on the lower part of the stud, the fork slider appears to be fine.

I am wondering if their would be a problem using a grade 8 steel bolt and grinding off the head as a replacement stud until my OEM parts arrive.

I asked this over at sohc4.net, just wondering if anyone could let me know if this is a completely stupid idea.

Edit: I have tried local automotive and hardware supply stores and couldn't find 8x1.25x49 studs
