Replacement bolts for the upper holders that clamp the original upright handlebars into their mounting cradles. This four-bolt kit is separate from the fork-yoke pinch bolts and the bolts securing the lower holders to the top bridge. Browse the matching Honda CB500 1996–2002 fastener range.

What you receive

• 4x A2 (304) stainless steel upper handlebar clamp bolts — 2x per holder.
• 1x Biker Bling anti-seize compound pack (7 g).

Photographs illustrate the bolt style and may be generic. Use the contents list and fitting positions for the supplied kit.

Important fitment notes

• Compatibility: For Honda CB500 1996–2002 with the matching original upper handlebar clamp holders.
• Verify before fitting: Check the exact year, variant and original components. Modified assemblies may require different fasteners.
• Aftermarket parts: These are replacement components, not genuine Honda-branded hardware.
• Exclusions: Handlebars, holders, risers, lower-holder mounting bolts, top/bottom yoke pinch bolts and control fixings are not included.

Original Honda part references

• 96600-08032-00 — Original upper handlebar holder bolt.

These references identify original Honda components, not Biker Bling SKUs. References for different years or positions are not additional supplied parts or proof of an official supersession. Confirm each fixing at its intended position.

Materials and head style: The replacement bolts are A2 (304) stainless steel. Their heads may look different from Honda’s originals. The material name alone does not establish mechanical-strength equivalence.

When should you replace these fixings?

• Corroded or rounded heads: Inspect fasteners during component servicing.
• Damaged threads or missing bolts: Check the fixing and mounting before reassembly.
• A loose assembly: Check the clamp, bracket and seating as well as the bolt.

Replacement bolts cannot repair cracked components, stripped threads or a misaligned assembly.

Fitting information

• Support the motorcycle and affected assembly securely. Follow Honda’s fastener specification, alignment, tightening order and torque for the exact mounting points.
• Start the correct fasteners by hand. Do not use a bolt to pull a misaligned clamp or bracket into place.
• Use anti-seize, threadlocker or other compounds only where the procedure specifies them.
• Confirm a secure assembly before use. For steering or wheel work, check alignment, steering movement, throttle return, cable/hose clearance and brake operation. Have damaged or uncertain mountings checked by a qualified technician.

For general background, read our motorcycle bolt strength grades guide. Honda’s workshop procedure takes precedence.

Customer questions

Are the fork-yoke pinch bolts included?

No. This kit covers the four upper handlebar-holder clamp positions only.

Will it fit aftermarket risers?

Check the riser manufacturer’s required fastener specification. Different holder heights or spacer arrangements may require other hardware.
