fairing security bolts - do they exist?

[White Noise]

After reading a post on here about a poor guy who had his ZX-12R (i think?) fairings nicked while it was bolted up in his garage wondered if anyone made security bolts that you could use on a fairing? not i own a bike that has expensive fairings, just wondering out of interest, kind of like these

I'm not sure, but tbh if someone really wants to knick anything off your bike they'll have it no matter what.

true, but its all about time, if something more than an allen key is required it may help, as it may take a would be thief longer to get it off (i mean the fairing!!)

Prehaps the slightly rarer torx keys?

Nah, just use standard Japanese, cross head, monkey metal set screws. Garaunteed to burr out to a perfect circle at the first sign of a screwdriver.

I remember some catalogue was selling exploding bolts.
Apparently if you turn them the correct way they blow out and rip your hand off. If you turn them the wrong way they come out.
Genius! No idea how they were legal but they were selling them.

I remember them infact I got the catalogue here, it was motrax, there called 'ScrewPulls' (9.99 each) but cant see them on there website. They advertise them as exloding bolts, basically it looks like it just gives of a electric shock if you turn it round and the contacts meet.

Anything more than that would surely be illegal.

[ttandrew]

yeh but it sure would keep them away, wouldnt be able to try and nick something else a second time round with 3 less fingers , ive always said that would be the best alarm for a car, electrify the whole body of the car with a nice big charge, sure would stop car crime dead

LOLOLOL, if you look at the order number for those bolts, its something like 'youvebeenhad'
They don't exist.
(I'm sure)

yeh your right , though wouldnt take much to rig up not legal, yeh right because in this country the theiving gits have rights to wouldnt want them to get injured while they nick your hard earned stuff now would we

[thuganomics16]

so if anti theft bolts dont exist then that might be worth thinking about, could be a bit of money in that, imagine the profits if they started putting these bolts that u designed on all bikes as standard?? hmmmm

[Jrod]

And imagine how much you would get sued when you hurt someone.

Attach all your plastics using pop rivetts? It would take a matter of a few minutes to drill the heads off when you want to remove them again. Probably quicker than unscrewing the damned things.
