Johnnie Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 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.' 2 Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I use ever Kays or bolt base. There in flebay but good quality not bad price and quick on delivery. Quote Link to comment

60Greyhound Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) I agree with @Dezzaon this one... it takes while but I'd sit down with a Vernier and pull all the bolts you need to replace, measure and make a list then email a couple of bolt suppliers, at least that way you know exactly what you are getting. It also allows you to make improvements such as using 'flange buttons' for any fairing bolts etc. GWR-fastenersdo coloured stainless if that's your thing... I'm not a fan of alloy bolts at all Edited April 4, 2020 by 60Greyhound Quote Link to comment
wraith Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 You will find the bolts in the yokes will be fine thread. We maybe telling you how to suck eggs at this point I will just wait for the silly replys on that one 1 Quote Link to comment

I use Kay’s quite a lot, they’re on eBlag. Might as well go A2 stainless rather than zinc IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment
