ok i got a 86 250r. ive seen places that also lists 450r and 400ex on the same bolt. is this right?

just checking because honda wants $70 for a 86 bolt but i can get a 400ex honda bolt for $40.

service honda wants $53 86 250r and $24 for the 400ex and $17 for the 450r.


what gives and who's right, lol.


just checking.

Call Baldwin Racing and get a bolt! Their a little more than the stock R bolt but are 100 times better!

according to baldwins site, they are only twice as strong as the stock bolt... so 100 times better may be stretching it.

haha j/k

Doesn't the 400ex bolt have a hole running the length of the bolt?

If it does..............stay away!

In bicycles hollow bolts are stronger due to more surface area....

That was always the rumor anyway.
