Depends where you are. The most cost effective is a trade fasteners suppliers on your local industrial estate but don't go there not knowing your M6s from your M8s and your 1.0 pitch threads from your 1.25 and 1.5. And of course don't describe a cap head set screw as an 'Allen bolt.'
We're all on lock down/up over here in Ireland. I'm confined to within 2km of my own house. Mail order only for me.

Hello all, I want to replace some/most of the bolts on the forks, calipers, yokes and footrest hangers with stainless or decent quality zinc plated ones. Any recommendations for a reasonably priced supplier?

I run a bike school and use Bandit 6's, we tried bungs but now use bars. Not had a cracked case since.
What brand bars do you use?

I was aiming for what offers the most protection in a minor spill. Or if some myopic Christmas shopper reverses over you while trying to park and post pictures of their bargin hunt haul. Which will save my engine from hitting the ground and shedding its oil all over the place?

Hello all, I'm contemplating a big bore kit as a winter project for my '96 bandit 12. Does any know the maximum safe bore size I can go on stock liners?
-
Yes, success. Left hand twist drill bit done the job.

Remember to reverse the drill lol.
I wouldn't use a hand drill thou.
2mm drill bits and hand drills dont do well together.

I had to do mates carb 3 good one stuck solid had to drill on mill what a pain very time consuming. Can't even use easy out as brass spreads and makes matters worse. Just have to drill drill and drill some more in increments. Bad enough doing your own let alone getting talked into doing someone else's. Won't be doing that again
I've ordered some left hand drill bits. I'll see how they go.

I'll offer it a gin and tonic after work.

There is only one stuck in my set. I'll have another go this evening. Patience wouldn't be my strong suit.

I've tried soaking it. I've tried heat. I used a dremel to make the slot in the head deeper. I even tried shouting at it for 20 minutes. Still no joy. Next move is to strip everything and dump it in the ultra sonic bath. I'm trying to avoid drilling it out.

Hi my name is Johnnie I enjoy long walks on the beach and volunteering at the local dog shelter. I'm a gender neutral vegan spiritualist. Its pleasure to meet your acquaintance.
I've done the two day soak in 50/50 thinners and gear oil. I was originally stripping the carbs to ready them for an ultrasonic bath. Maybe a run through the tank first might loosen it!
Thanks for the replies......

Hello, I have a seized mixture screw in my '96 bandit carbs. Any ideas on how to loosen it without extreme violence?
Chinese oil coolers

Hello all, more questions.....
Does anyone have any experience with those cheap Chinese replacement oil coolers? Mine is leaking. Do I take a chance with a secondhand unit from Geebay or try a Chinese cheapo. Or bite the bullet and go aftermarket Earl's or similar? It's on a '96 bandit 12.
