    Hi Ian, bare in mind mate it's just a bolt. Where do bolts come from? Hardware stores. Take the bolt and ask "for one like this".

    Thanks big lad. I've tried a few sources but the original has a grease nipple built in. Unusual but I wanted to get an authentic part

    Ah OK, understood.

    I'm trying to identify the exact part you need and can't - is it on this diagram and if it is, what number?

    Yes, that the correct drawing. It's number 3' but it doesn't show the grease nipple. It's listed as no longer available. It's an M12 x 119mm torx. Thanks

    Surprisingly, also the least expensive for the Tbird at £289. I've just put some tec piggy back shocks on my Thruxton too so I'm ready to dial those in as well

    Agree with YSS shocks. Better than Hagon
