I recently went through this when looking for stainless bolts.

For steel bolts this is typically quoted as 4.4, 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 etc.
For Stainless it seems to be 70, 80, 90.

80 is equivalent to 8.8 as its tension strength is 800 MPa.

For my front mud guard mounts I just used A2 70 and they've been fine.

I've just recommissioned Wendy's track Street Triple and putting it back to road spec. Not exactly a polisher as it's been down the track a couple of times but now ready for its MOT next week and is an amazing fun bike. Also recently acquired another Gen1 Tuono without MOT it failed on front discs and had and electrical issue with the light switch. Also the tyres were 10 years old. That's all sorted apart from discs which will be fitted at the weekend. That can then go off for it's MOT. Then the RD250 needs to come back apart to re fix half the stuff previously done as sitting around for a couple of years takes its toll on a 46 year old bike. Also need to balance the throttle bodies on my other Tuono which will hopefully cure it's poor cold starting. I think then a few will go up for sale to pay for something else.
