HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: why are some bolts sooo expensive.....grrrr!!!!
Have you not found the calliper bolts yet then. For fooks sake. Everything went into the take away containers, they have got to be somewhere. Don't buy pro bolts for you callipers. Ally Pro bolts are not strong. You could always paint the standard bolts.
It's always the little thing that are expensive
Are you bunking off work 
I thought you where popping round tonight.

The one towards the front of the bike, the longer of the two. Don't forget we need them for the other bike as well Stop buying bolts and go find the missing ones

Top tip !!! When you have something powder coated put bolts in all the threads that are a little rusty .
When you get it back they will have been blasted and powder coated and looking great :-)

Keep an eye on eBay, you can (eventually?) find some titanium bolts for a decent price (worked for me.....)

Marty, if you just want OE bolts for now I have some of each tucked away.
Just to be clear, is it the larger or smaller of the 2 you need?
