Pillion footrest / exh hanger bolts

Well, I think I am jinxed at the moment not to enjoy the RSV!

Saturday gone, my back tyre kept deflating itself as the garage didn't put a new valve on when they renewed my rear tyre the other week, so I had to go and have that changed - just before it started raining.

Then, last night I get about 20 miles from home with my Bro and a mate - for my Bro to tap me on the shoulder and point to my can at a set of traffic lights. The bloody exhaust can hanger bolts had both done a runner somewhere leaving the immense weight of the standard can being suspended by the exhaust system!

So I had to nurse the bike back to his house to put a temporary bolt in there.

Here's the relevant Question, what spec are these bolts please - the 2 which held the hanger where allen head affairs, but I used an M8 or similar bolt. I don't want to order from Aprilia for a fiver each, so what should I shop for at Halfords / B&Q ? Allen / normal bolt and length please guys.
 
M8x30 i think if it's the two bolts that hold the hanger onto the subframe. Sounds like the previous owner didn't tighten them up correctly when the standard can was put back on i guess. 82 pence each from Aprilia
 
Cheers, well, it has a Harris hanger on anyway. I only need 2 really, but 4 for if the Mrs. wants a spin on the back, which I doubt with no 'rail.

Are the bolts Allen or normal hex - and where is a good place / 'site to order from mate?
 
You can get stainless steel ones from tekhardware (to name but one place) on ebay.
The normal ones are hexhead but I changed mine for allen key type
