1999 Fix Exhaust Bolt

I've done a very stupid thing with my 1999 VFR800 FiX. I was in the process of refitting the exhaust (had a minor slide earlier in the year due to a patch of black ice).

Everything went well with the exception of my forgetting to nip the bolt up which holds the exhaust to the hanger. After a short ride out which resulted in ludicrous speed being engaged my exhaust was no longer attached to the hanger. I have temporarily fitted a bolt to the hanger for safety but would like to replace it with the same nut and bolt that it originally had.

Would someone with a 1999 be so kind as to measure the bolt/take a quick photo of the nut so that I can purchase a more suitable replacement than I have currently fitted?

I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance people.

Luke.

According to online microfiche it is flange bolt: M8x45 with a flange nut and washer.

If you want to order OEM:

Bolt part#:

lost mine years ago, so replaced with a M6 hex bolt with same size nyloc nut.

As Kev notes, most bolt sizes are listed in the Parts Catalog for the bike. Honda bolts are not the same as those you can buy at a hardware store or even eBay, so if OEM look is important, you will need to order it from a Honda dealer/parts wholesaler.
