Have you tried the accessory section of your local motorcycle shop? If they don't have them in stock there's every chance they'll order them in for you.

dude......

just replace them with stainless... alot less poser and will look better and actually do the job they are designed to.

Anodised aluminuim ..... well your choice really.. probolt is about all thats left.

just remember 2 metals that are dissimilar in makeup will corrode each other no matter if they are aluminuim and stailness. it is the transfer of electrons...

thus why steal ships have lead annodes to be sacrificial..

TBH there are alot better things to spend moey on than bolts...

Thanks for your concern , but its my money and i'd like to spend it on what I like , Im not wanting to make my bike look good for anybody but myself.
As for corrosion - there is anti-corrosion sprays , I dont care if i have to spend an hour every 2 ,3 or 6 months to take out the bolts and give them a touch up , even if its every month

true and fair enough... as a precaution i would (blue) (dont use red) loctite important bolts.

probolt is goot however a little overpriced in my books for the quality.

by the time you have ordered them you could possibly with a bit of digging find all bolt specs fro the ones you want to replace and purchase hi tensile nice stainless or anodised ffrom the likes of Blacks fastners...

also i would if you are embarking on this road and you say do want to take em out and do the anti corrsion thing every few months weeks etc....

that you look at allen bolt cap screws rather than nut head bolts... as all nuts heads tend to rounf of after a few uses no matter what you do.

so in my experience and what we do with all the race bikes is use cap screw heads where we can.

Nice link. Was also looking at replacing all the bolts on the cbr. Didn't want to pay probolts prices though as their expensive as shit.

It's a Hyo' ... pretty coloured bolts will double the value of the bike. (Whats twice nothing .. ??)

There will be more parts of your bike more susceptible to corrosion than new anodized bolts ... (like the rest of it)
