Yes - objects in mirror are closer than they appear.

Are these going to be TORX heads, or HEX heads????

£50 Have they got Touratech stamped on them ?

It's a pretty decent price for that number of stainless bolts (all the correct lengths, sorted and packed for you). Go to http://www.stagonset.co.uk/ and price them up yourself - you'll be surprised.

A good way to speed up corrosion on an alloy engine case is to fit stainless bolts,also why the hubs bubble

Mine have been in place for 19 years on my airhead. I'm still waiting

 

[elefantmanshawn]

Air heads are as we all now accept much better built,but they are dissimilar metals and will lead to galvanic corrosion

 

[BBB61]

Wouldn't an anti corrosive jointing compound like Duralac help prevent galvonic corrosion?

You're onto a loser arguing this one chap. There are 1,000s of 850s, 1100s and 1150s of all varients with S/S kits fitted that are still in perfect condition after years of use. In the case of my own bike this is certainly the case. 10 years old and lived its entire life 'outside'. The only 'corrosion' being on the front engine cover and nowhere near the fixings. Not only has Steptoe been supplying these kits for oilheads for years - so have the 'specialist' parts dealers - all with no reported problems whatsoever.

Any bolt will be a dissimilar metal. Only really a problem if immersed in sea water. Thats why boats have anodes.

. The only 'corrosion' being on the front engine cover and nowhere near the fixings.

And that happens regardless of what's fitted.

Dry or wet molybdenum disulfide or Never-Seez (or its generic equivalent).

But stainless steel also galls badly on other stainless steel. And titanuim is worse than stainless steel. So tiddley pop, nothings perfect.

C'mon Steppers, stop arguing the toss and answer the technical enquiries.

Hex (allen) heads.
