Need to measure tommorow and figure out what size they are, believe they are 14mm. Thanks for the offer will let you know once Im able to measure the one that I do have.

If you know the size order from McMaster-Carr or any other good hardware supply store.

Thank you all for your responses, will post the size tommorow. Ive now giving up hope of finding new dowels. Havent even found used ones online!

I thought I saw a post on here a while ago about replacing the guide pins and someone used the pins out of another bike. I think it was an Interceptor. The pins were just a little too long, so they had to cut them down.

I'll search and see if I can find that post. I'll be needing some too, for my build as I get ready to put the engine back together (Finally!!!)

 I used a 94301-12200 (12x20mm). I found it on a ST1300 fiche.

Thanks KevinD, I remembered posting in that thread but had not had the time to dig it up again

BTW, for anyone who doesn't already know this, the second half of the part number for honda knock pins is based on the size, so for example


94301-12220 = 12x22
94301-12180 = 12x18
94301-08140 = 8x14

So, you can just 'make up' your part numbers and see if that size is available.  Getting a shorter size by one or two increments should be ok in most cases, so long as the diameter is correct.
