Default Suspension Linkage Bolts

I am installing lowering links on my 2022 KLX300R and discovered that the new linkage is slightly thicker and the collar (flat surface area) of the bolt is about 12mm too short. Has anyone encountered this issue and if so what is the fix? Does anyone know if a suitable bolt might be readily available? I was thinking that the KXF hardware might be a bit thicker and therefore the bolt might be an applicable substitute. Perhaps I could take the OEM to a shop and eyeball other hardware. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

NICECNC. Off of the Amazon site. I guess I

should have known better. They are a really nice looking product.

Kouba links use the stock bushings and are recessed to fit the stock bolts. They offer three sizes for 2020 and newer klx300's.

KLX3 1.25 Inch
KLX4 1.75 Inch
KLX5 2.25 Inch


They fit perfectly.
