Broken AF frame - Do you know of any?
Motorrad:
Very nice work. That head stay is beef
I wouldn't run stainless hardware there though.

I'm unsure who's questions are for who here but I'll answer just incase there for me....I don't use stainless bolts anywhere....I design my parts to take genuine bolts from either one of the four jap brands...I dummy up with whatever I get my hands on but assemble using OEM bolts,the ones in the pics are s**tty steel ones(not stainless anyway).Also I don't run front headstays on any of the jobs I do

Cool. they look like stainless on my phone...
mxaniac:
Most stainless fasteners are 18-8, equivalent to a Grade 2 U.S fastener. Don't confuse stainless fasteners with strength. You can get very high strength fasteners in stainless but most are not.

I like things looking like the manufacturer built them thats why i like OEM stuff....nothing worse than a dirty unflange hex bolt in my books washer or no washer
