New member here! Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so please be gentle!
I am looking for information on the reverse chaincase for a 90's Yamaha Venture GT/XL. I don't really need a full manual as I'm just doing another reverse conversion on one of my Phazers. The chapter on the chaincase is all I really need.
Unfortunately the chaincase I picked up is missing some bolts so I'm trying to find out what length and pitch they are. And of course Yamaha parts doesn't give that information, only a part number.
Yes, I suppose I could always look at my first conversion if I had to but it would be a real P.I.T.A. to get to them let alone measure their length.
I've been looking all over the net for a free manual or just a chaincase chapter of the manual, but so far no joy.
Thanks in advance!
PS: If anyone needs help doing the Venture chaincase conversion into a Phazer, let me know. This will be my second one. My first turned out extremely well and it looks darn near factory and I didn't have to do the unsightly notch in the hood like so many others do. My shifter comes out the pull-start hole and almost looks like it supposed to be there.

Wouldn't mind a couple of pics of the shift lever mod for mine.
The size of the bolt is coded into the second portion of the part number.
For example, if the part number is 95817-08070-00, then the diameter is 8mm and the length is 70mm.
If the part number is 95817-10060-00, then the diameter is 10mm and the length is 60mm.
As far as thread pitch, Yamaha is pretty standard in that the 6mm bolts are 1.0, and the 8 and 10mm are 1.25
