Pretty sure those are not parts I would have removed doing those jobs, but we might not do things the same way. What size? Something like M8x25? What size head?

On the plate for alternator belt tensioning, there are 3 bolts and a nut, did you replace all the bolts or just one?
I am thinking it is in the area when you changed the HES and dealt with the belt and it's adjustment. Did you lift the assy from the front or did you access the lift mechanism from the back.

The alternator mounting itself has two M8x20 bolts. I didn't think you'd have taken those out, though. I can't see doing that unless you removed the alternator completely for some reason.
13 mm head 3/4 inch long = M8 x20 will look for alternator mount all seems right but
Thanks fo help
I would assume if two bolts out of alternator mount it would be loose I have put at least a thousand miles on bike after doing the work would tank have to be off to see these bolts
No I would have to take all the credit do have a R100/7 could blame it and it is not completely together.

They look to be about the same size as the two bolts that hold the side covers to the frame on my R1150RS. If so there should also be 2 extra nuts and washers.
Thanks for all suggestions
Thinking back after hes was unplugged and removed from front of bike the plug would not slide under some wires and stuff and I may have taken bolts out of Motronic control unit mount or abs mount hind sight tells me I could have cut the plug off and pulled the wire out has it was being sent out to be rewired. I will put the plastic cover over alternator belt and the side panels back on and ride until I get test thing to set timing (I did not mark very well) have a empty gas tank it's full now remove tank and do more investigation
Thanks again and next time on something new as I take stuff apart will do more documentation ( any would be more)
