Kev
don't buy from Pro Bolts or similar, they're chuffing expensive. I've just done the whole bike in A4 Stainless for about £30 ish. Got them from my local fastener company. If anyones interested, I have a list.........might be able to get some sets etc..... Ped

The bolts look much better - I polished each one in a drill as well.
The list is for an early 900 which may be a little different to the 600/750s etc. PM me your email address and I'll mail it over. Anyone else interested? Let me know Ped

Next thing on the stainless list is Footrest Hanger bolts.
I've got them draw up and gonna see about getting a set made. I've no idea about the cost yet but it would probably be cheaper the more I get made. Anyone interested? Ped

on the subject of stainless - I have just put the chain adjuster plates from spareshack on, good deal and arrived the next day, and they don't bend when torquing up the rear spindle
As to using stainless nuts & bolts, on the bonnie that was knicked I had just done a complete rebuild with stainless, frame and cycle parts were ok but problems using them on the motor, apparently to be able to turn threads on stainless it has to fairly soft, which means it can stretch when torquing down, as i found out on the bonnie - ok on caseings etc but not for base & head bolts, and i had just bought a set of 'normal' head bolts to change them over when i had time but the bike was stolen before I had chance.
