When I was building bikes more regularly there were several of us at my old firm who used to raid the engineering storeroom for stainless bolts etc, and they used to say help yourself!.They were mostly iirc A2 grade which was certainly good enough for most applications and would stay good for many years.
You could then join the upgraded to company spec company bike club! I think most stainless you can get online nowadays is A2 grade anyway and usually Ok. Since I left there and was forced to actually buy bolts the A2 stuff seems decent enough. In fact the only dodgy stainless bolts on my bike were the ones already supplied with the parts. I've just replaced all the pinch bolts on the billet triple clamps I bought ages ago and the bolts were the original ones and they were turning black with oxidisation so just replaced with Ti bolts because I was bored!

Vince, I think I have found something carbon that isn’t on your bike!

I have taken against those things. They remind me of 1990's Japanese trail bikes where they were fitted to keep the crap off the discs ( not to "aerate" the discs, which I suspect would do just as well without them ). Folks just took them off.

I’ll also recommend Kay’s for fasteners along with ‘About Town Bolts’ for lots of general fasteners and fixings and ‘Race Ti’ for erm your Titanium stuff. On the subject of which I got fed up every time I opened the garage being greeted by horrible dull original Fork Pinch bolts so bought some shiny Ti replacements.

Are you saving up for the other side then?

Just for you, here they are to prove it :

Only joking of course! I have recently discovered that the large head mushroom M6x16mm bolts for mudguards etc as fitted to the later IE bikes (not sure if the carbies are the same) but they are actually the same as a Yamaha R6/R1 fairing part (maybe ThunderAce too) so if you're looking for Ti ones of those don't pay Pro-bolt prices for the Ducati ones, as they are much cheaper on fleabay, still not cheap mind.
I'm currently only allowed to do one mudguard at a time!

I've seen the stand before, Ryan, when I've been window shopping on the Fullsiz site. But even I blanched at £250+ for a sidestand Not a big fan of brake scoops, Darren, but, if I had to choose a pair, it'd have to be the old RoadRacing ones. |

Update finally. The cover arrived and its a nice piece of work but doesn't fit. Wrong shape and the hole centres aren't wide enough compared to the original

That's disappointing, Ryan, but not unexpected. If you fancy the Ducati Performance one (like mine 96645010B) Ducati Croydon appear to have one in stock for £35. https://www.inmoto.com/buy/Ducati-Ti.../dci-96645010B

The company I got the cover from are hopefully getting me one that will fit and have been really good.

Just thought this might be of some kind of interest re ways to pass the time and to lightening efforts. The photos are of a carbon bracket I made up last week, it replaces the standard air box support pillars and holds the fusebox/ECU/Main fuse. Carbon isn't too difficult to work with better results if you use your oven to help with the curing process. Bitza
