Font disc bolts

[mpgscott]

Anyone got recommendations for a set of front wheel disc bolts?

Everything online seems to be titanium or stainless and bloody expensive.

Think they are M8 x 27mm countersunk.

Thanks

Careful what grade of Stainless you buy for tensile applications.

Thanks, yes this was my concern on going with stainless. Don’t mind using them on covers and plastics but not on the brakes.

When I did the second set of wheels for my GS I just bought from Motorworks a new set (new) of bolts and washers and all needed.
Wouldn't that be the best/price efficient option?

At the rate they do rust/corrode, replacement is not a very expensive option IMHO.

FWIW I have used titanium fasteners on the disks of my R1 and Tmax (same disks) but would not entertain stainless, not even A4 grade (most bolts are A2).

Its better to use the correct tensile strength OE bolts that corrode over decades than some shiny but shit bolts on your only means of stopping in a hurry !

I’ve lost the front (and only) caliper on a bike once. It wasn’t a fun experience
