OEM Style Nuts and Bolts Source

I can't take credit for it... Roost was the one who I heard it from... :-)
mazderati:
Foxx, sources other than Kawi preferred for the reason you mention. The previous owner(s) of this bike replaced some of the original hardware with a mishmash of aftermarket fasteners I'm trying to clean up. Referring to online parts diagrams to find out what goes where is a PITA so I'd love to find some type of comprehensive fastener list to cross reference. I am a fan of the OEM-style smooth/domed/convex style bolt heads which keeps me from using kits like those from Specbolt.
Titanium fasteners are trick.

that's all I get from him, the only difference is the Specbolts are brighter/shinier...you just have to tell him what you want/don't want.
I replace all my old rusty, dull oem bolts with the Specs, motor, frame, plastics ...and they're identical to the oem's.
there's a couple other guys selling kits here in this list...

some of that Chichanium that Sandblaster speaks of, might be worth looking into.
jBernard is another one you might want to get a hold of...he's been going crazy on titanium bolts/studs...and might be able to help out.

What?!?!?! If I got these I might have to consider getting rid of the bin of used fasteners I dig through every time I need one! :lol:

haha :lol:....I never throw away any old bolts either...sometimes ya just never know when you or a buddy might need one, that's an odd-ball or specific size/length.
