    I am not sure what to say. The bolts sold earlier from a different company are for a gold wing, not f6b. Those bolts for the wing are all the same length, more then likely 75 mm or less. One bolt would have worked on each side the other would have been short.

    The bolt kits for an f6b are different.
    You can measure your original bolts, which I Did to verify. We have an advantage selling parts and having multiple bikes here to actually check out parts on.
    You will find when measuring that your original bolt lengths are 60 mm and 90 mm in length.
    The replacements as we have listed on the product page are 75 mm and 95 mm in length including the tip which is about 3 mm.

    Rick, Thanks so much for the reply and you are "right on" my friend..The aftermarket bolts I got last year from another "major" supplier are 60mm and 90mm in length...No wonder they did not work!!...Anyhow I have ordered a new set from you a look forward to replacing the stock ones that I have on the Mustang seat now ...Thanks and Regards.....Opas Ride

    I made my seat bolts pointed with a grinder. Better price.

    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it.

    Sometimes that little bit makes all the difference in the world.
    I have had my seat off and on several times the last week while doing some LED Accent Wiring installations. The Mustang seat comes off and on very easily.
    If taking side panels off with an after market seat installed, adding an extra two minutes to take the seat off makes life a whole lot easier. The side panels come right off with the seat removed. I strongly recommend it.

    Due to a huge demand in these new Tapered Bolts we did run out of our first shipment. We will have more in in about a week or two. Anyone who orders will get them as soon as we get more in stock.
    If you order a seat with the bolts, we can hold off shipping the seat until we get more bolts in.

    I use the stock bolts with no issues on my Corbin seat.

    I am happy for you but I do not like the looks or comfort of the Corbin seat!!....The newer bolts from Rick at Value Accessories has solved any fitment issues with the Mustang seat and I am a happy camper....Thanks and ride safe!!!
