I run them on my banshee. Works great for non stress bolts like clutch covers bolts, plastic, ect. Plus they help make it look better.

I use them on everything without issue so far. Engine, a-arm mounts, swingarm parts, ect. Just use anti seize on them.

x2 they strip easy for the 8mm and 10mm with allen socket
But , for the price 100 $ for a complete bike kit, that not so bad .
i get it out easy using a dremel and cutttind a flat blade notch on the allen head ,

FYI Rocky Mountain ATV carries  6MM and 8mm kits of each of OEM bolts at affordable prices

Just saw this post.  YES, DO NOT USE SS BOLT KITS.  I rebuilt my Zilla back in 2010/2011 and used a full kit on the rebuild.  I used either locktite or anti-sieze on everything.  The last few years when working on my bike, I've replaced the SS bolts that I remove with OEM bolts again.

The worst example was starting a fuel tank bolt a few turns in by hand.  Tried to remove it a few minutes later and it galled and broke the welded nut on the inside of the mount area.  Had to cut off the bolt just to remove it.  Never again.

I've gone thru my bags of spare quad bolts/nuts with a magnet and all SS have been thrown away.  These always go in the trash when I come across them.  I will not use them anywhere on my bikes.

Yes,  yes,  yes !!!!!!!!  Please do not use stainless bolts.  We get a few engines and bikes that have these stainless bolt kits.  The cost of extracting the galled threads,  twisted off bolts can add considerable cost to repair jobs.

There is a common misconception that stainless steel bolts are stronger than high grade steel bolts. In general it usually takes a larger diameter stainless steel bolt to equal the strength of a good steel bolt.  Most of the stainless steel bolt kits on the market have strengths that are in the same category as the strength of steel used in "All-Thread" and the grade 2 bolts.     


There are as many grades of stainless steel as there are different types of cookies.  Stainless steel is just a label we put on steel that is more corrosion resistant than  pure iron.  The degree of corrosion resistance the steel has depends upon the amounts and types of alloys added to it to make it corrosion resistant.

Nickel and chromium are the two most common elements added to steel to make it corrosion resistant.  Inconel and hastelloy are common stainless steels used in parts that must have high corrosion resistant properties and strength at extreme high temperatures.

Bringing this thread back. Never had a problem with my ss bolts but want to go to hex plated bolts. U guys think that spec bolt is the best kit? Id love to use aluminum or ti bolts but thats 2 much $

Are the kits complete?  Like everything ill need to reassemble my bike? Obviously im going to only use half the bolts on my drag bike.
