Caliper retaining bolts

#1 Post by Falcoholic » Tue Feb 08, 2011 10:52 am

Anyone have a source for front caliper retaining bolts.

Stainless preferably

Oh and for the pinch bolts at the bottom of the forks too.

Mine have gone a wee bit brown and I'm fed up wire brushing em.

If you know the sizes, or have an old one to compare, give the pro-bolt website a try www.tastynuts.com (or .co.uk) it's not porn, promise.

Our Nooj deals with Pro-Bolt.. If you ask nicely he'll sort you a discount :smt002

I just got a set of Titanium caliper bolts from pro-bolt for $21 (they were on sale), but they're for the RSVR Ohlins so don't know if they'd work on your Showas Andy, also don't know if it's an exclusively Australian deal, wortha check though.

But fark me they are way better than porn.

I do a 5% discount on the whole Tasty Nuts range (more if you're doing a big order). Let me know what you want and I'll put a quote together.

Don't say that you can give us a discount, now I'll be trawling through their catalogue looking for more shiny bits to put on the bikes.
