How comes you want Titanium castle nuts Tony or is it just for weight and aesthetics? I'm wondering if you have a problem with yours.

There you have it - Kev has black storm envy and all the piffle about blue this and blue that is all a load of nonsense from a bloke in denial

:lol: :lol: Must be my cans. On mass if you add up the Titanium on my bike there's probably more. Kev's more of a Carbon man, it's the Black he's adding to speed it up. :thumbup:

I reckon they are about the third of the weight of the standard ones..

They are the castle nuts that go through the frame to mount the engine :thumbup:

They often seize in the frame- mine have been chopped out and replaced by a length of M12 studding, a temporary bodge I did years ago to get the bike back on the road following yet another engine rebuild.
But it worked so well I left it there.
Mark took pity on me and said he'd make me up a decent set to replace my temporary bodge of three years ago.

And as they're lighter....every little helps :thumbup:
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
