Stainless bolts
 
I'm after some stainless bolts for the gsxr front end. I need the bolts that hold the discs on (can only find them on wemoto and they're like £4 each and I need 15 :( )

I also need the 3 bolts which hold each caliper together. The ones that you need the stupid star bit for, which I would rather replace for normal allen key ones.

Anyone know where the best place is to get them?

Any decent hardware place will do them for a fraction of that price. I replaced all the engine bolts on my last bike... took them out one at a time, measured them and took the measurements to a local suppliers. I got the full set for less than a fiver (tastynuts were charging over £30 for the full set)

google industrial suppliers into a yell or thomson search engine, they will be your best source.

Do you think the hardware places will have bike specific ones?

most bike ones are basic metric bolts. Caliper ones are different threads but if you take a bolt they will have a replacement.

Just be aware that probably all the bolts you mention are high tensile steel which are generally stronger than most stainless bolts

This is good advice. 'Normal' stainless bolts may not be suitably strong.

Try BSR Aerotek - they do suitable stainless bolts in disc sets, which I have found a bit cheaper sometimes.
