During my early biking days i remember you could buy a complete set of nuts , bolts ect for a given bike . I wish to start replacing the now rusting bolts around the frame and various other places . I had a long chat with my mate Google but he could not help . So is it just a case of removal and getting replacments as i go along ? I can order bolts and stuff through work but as for my old cb750 , a bag of all bolts ect would be much easier . Is this making sense ? And i take it the bike is Metric .
:cheers: Jim
Yup, I've seen them... maybe they were fancy color replacements, but I know I've seen them. Let me do some searching...
Ok, found what I remembered... more expensive than I would have thought, and sourced from the UK
89-97

I find it hard to believe that there are differences in the year groupings they list. And I don't know what's with the 02 only listing, but I linked to everything I saw for the GS500.
Color bolts seem to be around 50 USD and the stainless steel almost 90 USD
Good luck!

Thanks Sledge, price looks much better... I wasn't in the market for one of these kits, but maybe i should start thinking about it a little harder... I broke one of my crankcase cover bolts today (http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=34408.0)
...or does anyone who's upgrading want to send me one of their M6x65 bolts? :icon_lol:
Theres 2 quid diff , and u get the allen Key , and u get a better delivery time , saying that , i think im gonna get my whole bike kitted out , the lot ,
80 quid on bolts.. seems a lil mad , but they look amazing :P . Blue Bolts . With Blue Metal Flake Paint,, Mhmm Souinds Very Tempting
Don't get the alloy bolts! they look good and all, but alluminum is pretty weak when being used to replace a steel bolt. The stainless ones are much better. They're nice and strong and look good polished.
