Welp.. Got back from Ace Hardware... Impaktech sent me a 70mm bolt & 80mm bolt. The 70mm was supposed to go on the right side (troubled side). No matter how hard I tried, it would not catch. So, I ended up picking up a 75mm bolt so it's slightly longer. And it works now. I made sure not to go crazy with tightening it, but it's on there now and secure. Impaktech is actually sending me an 80mm bolt too, oops too late. But, I guess I'll check the bolt next week after riding for a bit just to make sure it's still secure. I guess next time I have to take these rails off, I'll pick up a tap and clean up the threads.

Fair enough... At first I thought the bolt the rails came with were too short. Although they probably were too short with the spacer. But, I could also be experiencing the first few threads being worn down? Not sure, but I accidentally used a standard bolt in that engine mount. But again, I didn't tighten it all the way down. I'm assuming there are healthier threads deeper. I've been researching this issue and all I see is helicoil and that involves dropping the engine. And I can't help but think about how much I screwed up due to not paying attention.

So... when I was attempting to install some impaktech race rails, I first used the wrong bolt in the hole. It went in a bit, but I didn't tighten all the way. I just wanted to get everything set so I can see how much I need to shave off of the fairing to get it to fit. I eventually got a diagram from Impaktech about what bolts and where the spacers go. I realized I used the wrong bolt! Looking into the hole, I can see some thread still looking fine, the bolt that's SUPPOSED to go in there works, and screws in and doesn't slide in and out. So I think it's only the beginning of the threads that got messed up. Should I go ahead and find a longer bolt with correct pitch and size so it goes in deeper? This is for an F4i. Or, should I look into getting helicoil? I'm not familiar with it so I would probably just pay a professional to do it for me instead of screwing more stuff up. grr..

@digi_matter haha it's terrible. It's even worse when I'm uploading. But then again my internet is already slow at home. Upgrade needed

Barbershop isn't busy surprisingly. Gotta take advantage of this before everyone comes in to get their NYE cut
