my jigsaw puzzle was created by morningwood
I did my intro awhile back. Here is the deal. I bought a '75 Z1B and it was a roller with the motor in the frame minus the carbs in one of three boxes of parts. I went through all the boxes of parts and have most of what I need. Is there anyway to shorten screws and bolts to get the correct length?

Not too sure on your question, but I found that Z1 sells some bolt kits for around $27. (I'm not a shill, just got one of these for my bike).

For the price, it sure beats running down bolts all the time.

it can be done. make sure the the thread shoulder allows the bolt to tighten the parts together before it bottoms.

A chop saw will work followed by using a disc sander wheel to square the end. I like to chamfer(taper) the end so the threads are not sharp. This makes it easier to start the fastener.

A source for american and metric fasteners is www.boltdepot.com and the local ACE Hardware Store(they have a good selection of fasteners).

put a nut on the threads first then cut when you remove the nut the threads will clean them selfs up then dress them up with a grinder
