I'm looking for a stainless steel bolt set, for all of the bolts on the side covers on the Ace 1330. I've done this before replacing all of the green coated bolts on my other motorcycles, but tbose kits were specific for a particular bike.. The green ones in my F3S Look bad. The small amount of corrosion will get more pronounced as time goes on, and will be a problem at some point. I also do not like the green hardware.. I've looked around, and I haven't found any yet.
Green coated bolts... are they anodized?
If you can't find a "plug n play" set...
How about having a shufti at what you want and visiting an engineering supply shop and match em up.
Well sure, that's one way to do it of course, but 1st I'd like to find a ss bolt set. Don't really feel like taking all the bolts out, and I'm sure there's quite a few different sizes. I'm not lazy, but it would be a lot easier buying a set if there available.
Here's a set of ss bolts on my Brothers Suzuki Bandit 1200
They're the same bolts you have on yours and every other 1330 out there. The Japanese bikes use the same green anodized hardware also.
Cant say I have noticed any, but they could be there I guess.Quote:

Guarantee not 1 green anodized on my Suzuki DR650.
I got my machines mixed up. My Honda pioneer 1000 has all the green covered bolts, as well as my old Suzuki 800, and Kawi 1600. The F3S has silver colored bolts that have a little corrosion fur growing on the bolt heads. Sorry for the confusion, but still looking for a set of ss bolts for the Spyder.
Gotta be careful swapping to different metals when you dealing with holes threaded into aluminum. Some of the harder metals with more chromium in it will gall a lot easier than the softer =steels. It might make some small difference in torque values too. It causes more problems than it is worth when the bolt thread-welds to the tapped aluminum holes.
these are real popular with the Harley crowd. They don't protect much but they look a lot nicer.
