Bike can be fixed, the important things are a) you're ok and b) you cant wait to get back on it. Good job.

And errr c) learn from it :-)

Lol!


On a serious note, you say you bought some replacement bolts for the ones you were too much of a girl to get off normally?

Those are not normal bolts holding the dogbones and linkage together, they are different grade treated to be strong in shear, and are also shouldered. I would NOT trust an unshouldered bolt, especially the cut-thread type in such a place.
Use OEM bolts there, or bolts from similar area in another bike!

Yes I agree with YC. The bolts are sand bolts or something, if that makes any sense:smt102

I do wonder if trying to do so much after the observed ride may have been a bit much. Usually quite stressful doing stuff like that. Just a thought. Glad you're ok and bike isn't too badly damaged.
