Tommygunn Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 What does everyone do about bolts and nuts? I'm rebuilding my bike and it seems stupid to reuse the same dirty, rusty bolts on a fresh powdercoated frame with all new parts. I don't know, it just stands out to me and i want new ones. I would paint them but i know it would just chip. Things like swingarm, a arm shock bolts, etc. I'm assuming you need a higher grade bolt. what does everyone else do? is it best to go through yamaha or is there somewhere else i can go?

sheerider11 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Didn't some one break the shock bolts that they provided? I think it was jds that broke them if I remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I've heard horror stories from using stainless on suspension. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygunn Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just looked them up. Seems like a lot of money to spend on bolts that you won't see or use anyway. Where could i find just the ones i want? like for a arms, swingarm, motor and plastics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeCanBanshee Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Run you old ones on a wire wheel to clean them up that's what I'm going to do. I know the feeling of wanting clean bolts. Or take all the bolts you want to replace to the hardware store and get some grade 8 stainless bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
