nearly bought a blackbird but they just cost so much in tyres!! never saw the bolts though....
and there is nothing wrong with coloured bolts as long as its tastefully done

the reason I got new bolts was cos when I was changing the screen the plastic yam ones disintegrated!!!

Try BSR Areotek on 01386 849060. Discovered them at the bike show about five years ago, when I had a Chunder Cat. Used with copaslip, never had no trouble taking off fairings, etc. Their new titanium ones are nice. Bought a set at this years show coz they were on offer (disc bolts F & R), look well smart.

If you mean Pro Bolt as sold by M&P, et al, never tried them. Aerotek ones were expensive out of their catalogue that's why I bought at show coz they were nearly half price. Quality good. Old ones were a bit** to get out. Big hammer job. Found if you hit bolt head enough times previous, previous owners nut lock gave up the ghost. Why do people have to tighten bolts so bl**dy tight anyway? Havn't they heard of torque wrenches?

Bloody Hell, that's shocking! Imagine the hassle you would have had trying to get those buggers off in a couple of years time.

I had the same probs with some sprockets nuts a couple of years back, these also had the steel inserts $:\$

Same symptoms....couldn't torque up and then they went pear-shaped....
AND THEN THEY WENT IN THE BIN!

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!

It's all these companies competing against each other, cutting corners and quality to save a pennies or two. I guess they just don't give a rats ass about our safety! Money grabbing buggers.

Rant over, normal service has been resumed.

I bought a set of fairing bolts about 2 1/2 years ago and I don't think I used any on the Exup.
Not one was the right size.
Still got more than half of them left after using them for other things

Exup 1000
