Titanium Bolt replacement - Gen 6

I did some research looking for bolt replacements on my '04 Viffer. I knew I wanted Titanium since the metal has a high corrosion resistance, is 45% lighter than steel and has a certain coolness factor. I found a great website which has bike specific kit replacements of many varieties.

VFR800 V-TEC '02-'05 - Pro-Bolt USA Hardware - Titanium, Stainless Steel, Aluminum Fasteners for Metric Motorcycles & Harley-Davidson

The downside is it can get expensive. Enjoy!

 

Thanks Vanth,been there done that already on my '03. :madgrin:

 

Holy shit stosh! What haven't you done.

 

I haven't finished putting the bike back together yet Matt. :lol:

 

Sweet! Going to be a lot of work.

 

I prefer Mettec for anything that is load bearing, but Pro Bolt is OK too.

Been there,done that too.

I sourced a few pieces from Mettec for my '03 as well NCB. Although these Titanium valve cover bolts aren't load bearing they are plenty trick.

At $65.89 apiece though they certainly aren't cheap. You need 8 of them,do the math. :faint:

 

I am assuming these will work on the 07 even though it only says up to 05

 

I'd rather have the valve cover bolts than a nice wristwatch...but that's just me It really helps to get the racer discount from Mettec, however, their stuff is easily the best ti out there.

One of these things is not like the other.....

Just a heads-up Vanth,stay away from the rear brake disc bolts that Pro-Bolt has listed on their web page for the 6th gen. bikes. Their listing for those bolts is incorrect,I went out to the garage today to install mine and they don't fit.

The bolt on the left is the rear brake disc bolt from Pro-Bolt,the bolt on the right is the one that's actually on the bike. As you can see,not even close.

 

what did pro say? did they send you the wrong ones? Or is it a listing error? or?

 

What is the difference?
