Need help! Lost my gas-tank bolt!

Hey all,

In working on my bike, I lost the hex-bolt that locks the back of the tank. I'm going to get another, but I thought I'd ask here first; anyone know the diameter and length of the bolt?

By the "H8.8" markings I remember seeing on it (and given that everything else is metric) I've ascertained that it's a metric bolt.

rt125= m8x45 probely 1.25 pitch

sm sx fun x = m8x40 1.25?

look real close it may be laying some where on the engine or air box
below where it is installed or hanging in the electrical wire loom
it may have not fallen all the way to the floor

and you do not want it in the chain while running down the road

Thanks Dave.

I know it's not on the bike. It's one of those things that I put in my pocket, and is probably still in a pair of my workpants somewhere....
