Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Mudguard M5 x 9 Shoulder Bolt – H6906029/E Genuine OEM

Royal Enfield M5 x 9 mm Large-Head Shoulder Bolt – H6906029/E

Replace a missing, corroded or damaged genuine mounting bolt with Royal Enfield OEM H6906029/E. The manufacturer-style description is BOLT, BUT, LGE, SHLD, M5 X 9, 8.8, WHT: an M5 × 9 mm large-head shoulder-style bolt, property class 8.8, with the catalogue finish code WHT. It is used in selected motorcycle bodywork and mounting assemblies; it is not a universal bolt for every Royal Enfield model or mounting location.

Order quantity: One unit means one individual bolt, not a bag of four or a complete mudguard-fitting kit. If your specific parts diagram calls for four bolts, order four.

Technical specifications and identification

Motorcycle compatibility – exact revision versus part-family diagrams

Royal Enfield uses the H6906029 number family in multiple partsbooks, but a diagram showing the unsuffixed base number does not prove every later suffix is an approved replacement. This listing makes that distinction explicit.

Fitting scope: The Super Meteor 650 Astral catalogue confirms the exact /E revision. The Himalayan 450, Shotgun 650 and Bear 650 sources above confirm only the unsuffixed base part family; customers and fitters must check the OEM EPC / chassis-specific current revision before ordering H6906029/E for those applications. Other Royal Enfield motorcycles, even with M5 bolts, are not automatically compatible.

Where this bolt is used

• Super Meteor 650: Rear mudguard / infill hardware on the documented Astral assembly.
• Shotgun 650: Rear mudguard hardware in the identified Green Drill / Stencil White variant partsbooks (base number shown).
• Himalayan 450: Front mudguard / bodywork fastener and a separate fuel-tank assembly use for the H6906029 family. These are distinct fitting positions with different normal quantities.
• Bear 650: Fuel-tank mounting hardware appears in the colour-specific partsbook under the base part number.

Package contents – what you receive

1 × Genuine Royal Enfield H6906029/E M5 × 9 large-head shoulder bolt. This is a single-component replacement listing. No clip nuts, washers, top-hat bushings, infill panels, rubber pieces, mudguards, fuel tanks or accessory kits are supplied unless specifically identified in the physical product offered for sale.

Understanding required quantity vs purchase quantity

OEM illustrated catalogues list the quantity required to assemble a particular motorcycle. A count of four in a mudguard partsbook means that four identical fasteners may be needed in that mounting position; it does not mean a retail purchase of one H6906029/E contains four. The seller unit here is one bolt. Verify the count for your own model and the intended repair.

M5 × 9 does not mean any M5 bolt will fit

Thread diameter alone is insufficient for interchangeability. The large-head shoulder geometry, under-head length, mating clip nut, finish, strength class and clearance to adjacent plastics must be compatible with the original location. Do not substitute a generic M5 × 9 machine screw or another shoulder bolt without the correct approved specification.

Important identification checks before ordering

• Locate the original bolt or the model-specific Royal Enfield EPC diagram for the intended mounting position.
• Verify the exact part number and whether H6906029/E supersedes the base reference or a different letter suffix for your VIN.
• Measure/compare the original large-head and shoulder profile; confirm the M5 diameter and labelled 9 mm length convention.
• Check whether the job also needs clip nuts (such as 587658), washers or top-hat bushings; these are separate items.
• Check the required count in your own assembly drawing rather than assuming every motorcycle uses four.

Installation and safety

Use the exact workshop procedure for the motorcycle and assembly. Support any painted panel before removing original fittings. Compare the new bolt to the old one, inspect clip nuts or captive threads for damage, engage threads by hand and tighten only to the manufacturer-specified torque for that location. No universal tightening torque has been verified for this part. Avoid overtightening plastic-panel connections, stripping clips or trapping wiring beneath rear mudguard parts. After fitting, check panel alignment, clearance, seating and security.

Ordering guidance for international buyers

This is a lightweight OEM fastener, but international shipping cost depends on parcel and destination, not only the part value. For multiple fasteners, place the correct quantities into one order and confirm matching model details before purchase. Under The Hood can assist with identification using the motorcycle model, year, VIN and a clear picture of the existing fastener or parts drawing.

Frequently asked questions

1. What is H6906029/E?

It is a genuine Royal Enfield M5 × 9 mm, class-8.8 large-head shoulder bolt. The exact /E revision is listed in a Super Meteor 650 rear-mudguard catalogue.

2. Is this the same as a regular M5 x 9 bolt?

Not necessarily. Its head, shoulder profile and mounting geometry are important. Match the complete OEM specification, not only nominal diameter and length.

3. Does it fit all Royal Enfield motorcycles?

No. Exact /E is confirmed in a Super Meteor 650 application. Other catalogue matches may identify only the H6906029 family and require VIN-specific suffix verification.

4. Will this fit my Super Meteor 650?

It appears as exact H6906029/E on the Super Meteor 650 Astral rear-mudguard parts page. Confirm your specific model variant and mounting position.

5. Will it fit the Shotgun 650?

A Shotgun 650 rear-mudguard partsbook lists the H6906029 base part in its mounting assembly. Exact /E supersession has not been independently confirmed for every Shotgun 650.

6. Will it fit the Himalayan 450?

Himalayan 450 front-mudguard and fuel-tank diagrams show H6906029, but the /E suffix requires confirmation for the motorcycle and intended fitting position.

7. Can I use it on the Bear 650?

Bear 650 fuel-tank drawings list the H6906029 base number. Confirm the /E revision against the latest OEM EPC/VIN.

8. Is it a front mudguard bolt or rear mudguard bolt?

The part family is used in different assemblies: rear mudguard on Super Meteor 650/Shotgun 650 and front mudguard or fuel-tank positions on Himalayan 450. Match your exact assembly.

9. How many bolts come in one order?

One individual bolt. If the OEM diagram specifies four for your assembly, purchase quantity four.

10. Why do some diagrams say four bolts?

That is the normal assembly requirement, not the seller retail pack size.

11. Is a clip nut included?

No. M5 clip nuts are distinct parts; check the motorcycle diagram if yours is missing or damaged.

12. Does it include a washer or body panel?

No. Only one bolt is sold.

13. What does 8.8 mean?

8.8 is the OEM-specified fastener property class, not a measurement of its diameter or length.

14. What does WHT mean in the OEM name?

WHT is the catalogue finish/colour notation. A particular plating material has not been independently verified.

15. Is H6906029/C the same as /E?

Both suffixes are listed as M5 × 9 shoulder bolts by specialist suppliers, but application-specific approved interchangeability must be verified. Do not assume automatic substitution.

16. What is the correct torque?

Use the torque from the specific Royal Enfield workshop manual for the actual assembly. No universal torque for this part has been confirmed.

17. How do I confirm the right fitment before buying?

Provide the model, year, VIN, original fitted fastener/packet reference and the intended assembly or parts diagram.

18. Can this bolt be returned after installation?

Check Under The Hood’s published return policy and applicable consumer rights. Confirm exact fitment and inspect the item before installing.
