Caliper mounting bolt needed urgently for my 53 plate 1200. Anyone got one knocking about they are not using?

I don't have one but there must be a story behind that request ?

Had new tyres fitted and fork seal fitted. Got bike home and one of the caliper bolts was missing other was loose. Of course garage deny all of it and claim to have done them up correctly. First time I have used this garage and will be the last.

The riding school I work at use him for tyres but they remove the wheels themselves.
Luckily for me the owner of the riding school took a caliper bolt off his busa for me to keep me on the rode as they have the same Tokico calipers as the rex (I think) so full praise for him.

Hence the need for a new bolt. If I could do tyres myself I would same as fork seals but had no time to do fork seals myself. More fool me

Jubilee Garage Colsterworth Grantham are the people concerned.

Maybe they were having a bad day as I have heard good reports from others. Maybe the REX is far to complicated for them.

My SREX is now part BUSA (temp mounting bolt) does that been I get a ban
