Title: Brake Rotor Bolts
Post by: MinnesotaCafe on April 26, 2007, 05:31:43 PM
So I've got all the parts to do my rear wheel swap ('89 GSXR) EXCEPT the bolts for the brake rotor. I was planning on calling a local dealership and/or parts supplier for them tomorrow, but now I'm growing weary that they'll have to order them out.

I'm impatient

My question is, if they don't have them, if I can find bolts with similar flanges near the head of the bolt, that fit the bike, are they ok to use, or should I suck it up, and wait until next week to do the swap if they have to order them out.

just use bolts off the hardware store shelf until the dealer gets the right ones in.

Yeah, I never order bolts through a dealership. It's a bolt.  :cookoo:

Since it holds the brake on, get some grade 8.8 bolts and call it good.
