A disc bolt weight comparison... - SV650.org

northwind · 18-11-06, 08:46 PM

I got some titanium disc bolts a while back, they were mislabelled on Ebay so I snapped them up to replace my scabby OEM ones... Anyway, thought I'd weigh them- a set of 5 comes in at 45 grams, compared to OEM at 82g. I'm worried it might blow away, with savings like that

So what were they called on ebay?

I weigh too much to even contemplate trying to streamline my bike. I might skip lunch instead...

Can't remember exactly, something like "Bandit 600 Probolts brakes" with no pics or anything. Had a flutter and yep, 5 unopened ti bolts. Obviously, now I want another 10, but I get chest pains every time I read the price so I'm resisting for now
