Replacement Bolt for T50 Security Torx

[Spork]

Ok so I don't care for the security T50 torx found on the rear of the mounting hardware for the OEM panniers. It asks for 23lb/ft and I don't think it will take another round of torquing before it strips, so I want to change it to either a new security torx or (ideally) a new bolt altogether since there are not many roving bands of pannier thieves here in the midwest.

What i do know is that it is a 10mm bolt with a 1.25 pitch; what i don't know is the length. I also tried to find the replacement security torx on bike bandit and other sites and only found the hex blts for the standard (non-pannier) setup.

oh and if it matters: I have a '14ES.

Thanks!

Security torx bolt is 10mm X 97mm OEM # 90149-10011.
I gave up on finding a replacement and just added the t50 tool to my bike. Maybe someone has an option for us...??

How did you even find that part number? I looked everywhere.

I itemized all the parts in my kit before I installed my bags.

I found this:

its 100mm but that's only a little bit longer? I guess you can always file it down ... only 3mm.

Did you check McMaster Carr? They usually have everything.

I ended up keeping the bolt, and will replace it eventually when it is worn out. I'm not unbolting that item often anyway.

I know this is old, but take the OEM bolt with you and go to Fastenal. They'll match it up for you no problem. I see you're in Chicago; there are something like 15 Fastenal stores in greater Chicago.
