Gen3 Titanium bolts and nuts addiction

[Robert 0046]

Hi wich bolts and nuts have you changed till today and wich others do you plan to change soon?

 

[Robert 0046]

I have changed just a few im new in this addiction i have mounted for now the two axle nuts, the rear sprocket nuts, the front sprocket nut and washer, the rear brake disc bolts, the rear sets bolts and the stand bolts. I want to buy the kit that brings the suspension and the motor bolts and also the front caliper and brake disc bolts.

I changed all my bolts out to black stainless, swore I'd have no shiny bits. But the fairing bolts wouldn't look right black or stock on a white bike, made white vinyl overlays for them. Now you got me thinking titanium would be a nice touch for the exposed bolts, including the Frankenstein ones.

Not sure how far I'll go with the hardware, but I'll post the size and lengths of what I order on this thread.

I did the wheel, brake, bunch of small parts and suspension bolts except for the dog bones/shock mounts. I also got the Ti axles. Axles are pretty sexy.

I've actually changed out a couple here and there....it certainly could get very addictive...all my fairing bolts are aluminum as I managed to get a kit for those..

I suppose if there was a Ti "kit" for a Hayabusa, it would be more tempting as it would be a one stop shop sort of thing and not piece-mealing....

Hi. I have a Ti chain and a Ti clutch pusher rod and a Ti rear shock spring. I use ARP bolts for motor and cases. Ti. Aluminum. And plastic too.

World's first all-titanium motorcycle is spectacular, and nearly done

We haven't been paying much attention to the custom motorcycle world lately, but this jaw-dropping project demanded our attention. It's a Hayabusa engine wrapped in a spectacular titanium frame, swingarm, exhaust, subframe and bodywork.

For what it's worth, I looked around for replacement fairing, fender, heel guard, old Frankenstien, etc. Ti bolts overseas due to price and not structural. Came up with some potential solutions, but none that I would think looked right on the bike. There was only 1 option for the old Frankenstien bolts that I liked, happen to have the m8x25 size. 0.8mm smaller head, so it will fit inside the plastic clip and will print a spacer so push it out as needed.

I purchased some more i was bored yesterday and buyed a few others.

Dug thru the MiniGP hardware to see if had anytl Ti that could work for bodywork. This grade 5 did, stock length with a 4min 3d printed spacers. Weights for kicks, forgot to include the stock bezel I removed.

Not sure how I feel about it not pinching down, but doesn't allow the body to go up or down.

Could’ve used a brake disc bolt?. Has the shoulder already on it and works wonders for the Gen 2.

No reason couldn't, just used what Ti I happen to have on hand. Also happens to be lighter without the shoulder.

Pretty sure my bike will be getting revised with Ti fasteners for bodywork now, lol.

Ti chain?

Ti chain?

Same here! First I've heard of a Ti chain. And the shock spring? Can't even imagine the weight savings between them and the axles.

A Ti spring is 1.5-2.5 lbs of weight savings. They react faster and are most sensitive than a steel spring. Or so I’ve been told

Before I go out and mix the bolts, anyone know of somewhere that has aluminum bolts that are shouldered for a rear brake rotor?

 

[Robert 0046]

A few more just came in today.

 

[Robert 0046]
