GT Thunder's Heavy Duty studs seem to be the most popular. If you mail the cylinder to them they can install them for you.

It's a special tap that's required to properly install them. It's a Roll Form Tap and the size is a 7/16-14. GT Thunder sells the tap, as well as the studs. Here's a link to a thread that better describes Roll Form Tapping. (http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=267608&highlight=roll)

I personally would recommend you have GT Thunder or a professional machine shop install them. GT Thunder charges around $30 to install them.

GT thunder is the popular choice. i have them, i had a local machine shop install them. GT thunder sends the specs so i gave them to the machinest and had him install them

they work great
