titanium bolts?

[lilguy450]

does anyone know where I can find some titanium bolts for the swingarm bearing carrier pinch bolts? Also for the front shocks? I need the size that I might need too?

thanks

Why do you want titanium?

[lilguy450]

mainly for looks the tapered bolts do look pretty sick but they do offer some weight savings

Weight savings vs cost? Certainly not worth it unless you got deep pockets. And the weight savings aint much at all

I think it would be more logical to just get stainless or something and eat less.

dont use stainless. its too soft for this application. the stock/honda bolts are best.

Agreed. Go with the factory bolts or plated steel aftermarket. Stainless steel in the grades that MOST manufacturers use for fasteners; although rust resistant, is pretty soft when compared with an equivalent steel bolt.

Try these sites:

Pro bolt www.tastynuts.com
www.mettec.com

Pinch bolts would be 8mm 1.25 pitch 35mm or so long

Top shock mount 10mm 1.25 pitch 40-50mm long

Bottom shock mount 10mm 1.25 pitch 50mm or so long

Length of the bolts need to be measured from under the hex flange head or socket head.

I have dealt with mettec in the past. Good people to deal with. (See the website from Matt's posting). When I was racing I always used titanium on my shock bolts.
