Stainless Safe????

[Flipfly]

Just wondering if it's safe to use stainless on the fork brace to fork bolts on the RT. It's the safe front end as the 1100 so come on any body reckon it's safe to use them.

If you are replacing ordinary steel bolts then please be aware that A2 stainless steel has a slightly lower tensile strength than standard 8.8 grade plain carbon steel bolts, its worth bearing this in mind if you are changing to Stainless in areas such as caliper / brake, fork, and any high load area, you can specifiy higher tensile strengh stainless fixings to suit these areas.
