You are correct. I went to the LBS where I bought the kickstand, and they had a tool to measuer the thread pitch, and it was 1.5. They didn't have the bolt I need, but now I can check around.

So I now know that I am looknig for an M10X1.5 probaly 16mm or 20mm in length.

Anyone have a clue as to what "FT" means in the follownig spec (from someplace on the web):

"M10X16 Socket Head Cap Screw FT Stainless Steel A2 DIN912" - I would assume "FT" would mean "fine thread", but this spec is already listed under "M10X1.5".

Thanks,

Mike
