Re: Bolts
I got my titanium bolts from here but they do stainless too. Not cheap mind.
http://www.tastynuts.com/acatalog/ Used a guy called Steves Stainless as well but his link doesn't seem to work any more. Also I have a general hardware store that holds lots of stainless allen bolts. Try your yellow pages. |

Re: Bolts
I use a combination of screwfix for standard thread and hyperbolt for those silly metric fine that the japs like to use.

Re: Bolts
I would just go for an "engine" or "fairing" kit in stainless from Demon Tweeks. Lovely. No more corrosion and OE chocolate bolts rounding off!
If you are just looking for two or summit, a Suzuki stealer will get them in for lots of pounds. |

Re: Bolts
What sizes? I got the bags of 100 so I've got loads But most cheaper stainless types aren't recommended for structural bolts, so you do need to watch where you use 'em.

Re: Bolts
Hey,
The bolts are from my mates tt600 as his bike failed its mot cause it didnt have a baffle in it. He was sold the bike a few months ago and he asked about the baffles and was told that the exhaust was legal because it was "stamped" so he thought nothing more of it, but i thought it looked a bit suspicion. We took the end can off (with a hacksaw and a cold chisel! cheap nasty OEM bolts!) held in place by 3 allen key bolts and sent it off to get a baffle made up for it. So the bolts are not too structural, and i think they are M10 by about 16mm long ish but i am gonna check tonight at B&Q for size. do u have the name of teh ebay site? |
