1998 Boxeye caliper bolts
« on: 08 October 2015, 07:08:19 pm »
Hi All

I am looking to change my grotty caliper bolts for Stainless or Titanium.

Looking on fleabay, they list them from 2003 on.

Is there a difference in the bolts by year or are they all the same?

Confused of Norfolk.

The only benefit Stainless have over standard is the obvious one, there stainless!!!  :lol However Titanium are about 50% lighter and harder so shouldn't foc up as easily as as standard/stainless

I have a bit of a fastener fetish, and yes they are expensive, but oh boy.........

They do them in the correct pitch etc, that was just for example

Been using these on my 2001 Box Eye, no issues, OEM ones got discoloured but also rounded off so could not get good purchase on them...

I think you'd have to try hard to find a Jap bike above 125 that doesn't use M10 1.25, easy to find now but hasn't always been that way
