If it is for your bike please ensure you get the right thread pitch. Japanese M10 ain't European M10, As in the Japanese use a "fine" pitch of 1.25 where as we use a 1.5mm pitch

I use hyperbolt for the fine pitch, if normal then any fastener stockist should be able to help.

damm just looked at your sig and seeing as you got a trumpet you should be ok with proper bolts. The above warning does apply to all SV owners. M10 is a fine pitch and you will find it in strangte places like the side stand bolts, brake caliper mounting, engine mountings etc.
