Member Contributer mello dude Posted August 12, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 12, 2018 Want to give a shout out for Pro Bolt on their excellent fasteners. (And a little fun while I’m at it.) Kinda pic crazy... I have a tendency to strip my ride at any little annoyance, and from that I have worn the paint off the front fender. Ok, no mas... So I wanted to go to something that doesn’t rotate against the paint every disassembly like the stock OEMs. – A trip to Lowes and I found these nylon washers, and had on hand some Honda collars that could stay fixed when the fastener comes off. I was searching around for a dome head fastener that could work, and I remember something Mohawk mentioned ProBolt, so I checked ‘em out. Well, there’s nothing more dangerous than a Saturday nite beer buzz and a credit card, and I found ProBolt had titanium 6mm Dome heads that looked perfect. ---Jeez, you know, sometimes a guy has just has to have gold titanium fender fasteners – right?😁 Ordered a few stainless too for other purposes. Got the parts in and they deserve a “wow.” These things are jewels of a fastener. Its not too often you get something thats way better than you expect. And they give you other useful nylon washers that will come in handy. -- Definitely on the go to list, when the need is there.

Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted August 12, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 12, 2018 Probably, but still look nice, and that's a low load application. Are the spacers/standoffs OEM or did you order them with the bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer FJ12Ryder Posted August 13, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 13, 2018 Interesting, this is from their website: "We manufacture in the UK using single process on multi-axis CNC machining centres, which includes thread rolling." Cool. But wow, are they pricey! Looks like I'll be sticking to steel. After all, steel is real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted August 13, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 13, 2018 I bought some of their safety wire bolts, these are bolts with predrilled holes for safety wire. They also have a “dual drive” bolt, it’ll take an Allen head or a traditional socket/wrench, which are really cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer TheLimey Posted August 13, 2018 Member Contributer Share Posted August 13, 2018 Definitely not made in China. It's what most of the BSB field and a healthy dose of the Irish road race boys use. Check out these guys, too: https://raceboltuk.com/product-category/motorcycle-kits/honda/vfr800-vtec-02-12/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
