Help me build a spare bolt box; what are all the common bolt
I would like to improve the quality of many bolts on my bike. My primary concern is that I find many bolts that are beginning to strip or that I end up stripping myself when removing. I need bolts that are least likely to strip and that allow for convenient removal. So looking at materials and head shapes and sizes. I want to go online and order like a whole bunch of bolts, just like those kits in Autozone or other auto stores. Was told not to get stainless steel for certain parts. Also, although this kit will be for entire bike, I would like to focus on any and all bolts you would run into while taking apart your bike to clean carbs or clean plugs. So hose clamps for carbs, carbs them selves, air box, radiator mounts...
Also while I'm at it is there a way I can improve on the smaller hose clamps(fuel lines/vacuum)? Any other parts I can change to make my life easier when doing maintenance and repair work? The kind of answers I'm looking for is like: "Buy many 4mm bolts of all sizes as this is very popular buy 8MM from 1/2"-2" buy some 6mm 1" long Allen heads are the way to go!!" That was just an example and just includes random bolt sizes and head recommendation. Looking for actual answers from you guys that has similar information. Thanks!! similar Christmas |

You could just buy a stainless bolt kit from eBay for about £14. Fit them then keep the current ones as spares.
