D16Y8 head bolt length

I just noticed that my head bolts are not all the same size. Where exactly do the longer bolts go or are they all supposed to be the same size?
2000 ex all stock.
Thanks

There are 10 head bolts, all 10 are the same size 10X120.5mm.

What did you pull out? Rocker bridge bolts?

Note there, that spec on length came from the parts catalog.

Re: D16Y8 head bolt length

New seems cheap enough.

I wonder why someone would use short bolts in the first place?
