Stainless bolt kits

Post by ggray » Sat Mar 10, 2007 1:22 pm

I found a set of stainless socket head cap screws online for side cases and the engine for CB/CL72 and CB/CL77's.

Just wondering if anyone else had used these and if so, what your opinion of them is.

Thanks,

I used stainless on my CA but I didn't buy a kit. I just bought all the bolts and washers I needed. I think it cost me about $25 from www.stainlessbits.com

I bought the full stainless bolt kit for the CA78 Dream but there were some issues such as there were no bolts that fit the points cover which was a real pain but for the most part the cost was good. I think it was around $25 and I had extra bolts with it. They sure do make the engine look cleaner though.

Usually you have to re-tap the points cover as the threads are JIS threads. JIS is an older Japanese standard that is no longer used and REALLY hard to find if you want replacements.

Your right about that. I had to rethread as well. Must be the same thread as the rear shock nuts. Thanks
