I just bought a pack of them as well.
Good value, but could do with a few more M8's in the pack. :thumbup:

I have what is known in the house as the "Bowl of Lovliness" lol

Basically an old washing up bowl full of stainless bolts, nuts and washers of varying sizes...only got a couple allen heads left though...I might finally have to purchase some more!?!? :oops:

oh oh oh...its also got lots of wee bits (wee bits = y'know the kind, you fit something or make something and have a bit left over that you normally throw over your shoulder whilst shouting "WEE!!" lol)

Stainless bolts are nice... but titanium (for load bearing areas) and aluminum are nice AND light! Check Toronto Cycles for cheap prices (best prices, they colour titanium, and they ship international for only $5 per order; http://www.torontocycles.com/)....

I too am gradually changing all mine from Pro Bolt. Not cheap but they do things like the swing arm and bleed nipple bolts as well as reservoir caps etc. Good selection of colours and materials. Mixing s/steel and titanium on my Storm. Can't post pics as my bike is filthy and I cannae be assed cleaning it today :lol:
Does really tidy the bike up a lot though. Putting mostly black and silver on mine with red in the cockpit including dials for pre-load adjusters.

Careful with the bleed nipple adaptors in ali- I've had several snap off flush, and that's pretty much a scrap caliper when that happens.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I think the footpegs are a bit overkill. :lol: :lol:

Looking good though. I'm sort of considering Gold for my bolts and things. :thumbup:
