Yeah, dude I had the same problem. I went to Lowe's and brought all the parts in with me and just started testing bolts. The one you need is tagged m8x1.25. Thats a metric 8mm with a 1.25 pitch or thread. Just size up the length you need, bolt it up and ride. Make sure you buy washers that fit. I just ran a pretty long boltall the way through the other side and put a lock nuton the end. I thought about drilling the nut and running a cotter pin through it but it seems to be holding fine. I'll just keep her like this till I layher down and break it again, but she's a real rat bike (97 f3). Good luck.
