Hi

I received my bolts recently and happily threw on the caliper bolts replacing the torx ones and the fork pinch bolts.
I'd like a set of fairing bolts and wondered if anyone knew the spec for them? Have searched the forum and read this thread through but there is only a vague description of them.

Thanks in advance

So, Marty, you weight saving now?
How's the carbon fibre topbox coming along?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Got a load of bolts from Iain at boltbase quite a while ago and thought I'd do it again so just sent the order this minute.
Thought I'd comment as it may encourage others :D
