Disc Bolts - ebay = titanium or Probolt SS

I need a full set of disc bolts for my GPZ (front and rear) total of 18 identical bolts.

Looking around I found Stainless ones on Probolt but they are £4.01 each!!!!

insane IMO!!!

so had a look on ebay and have found the same size in "titanium"....

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-Titanium-Disc-Brake-Rotor-Bolts-Fit-KAWASAKI_W0QQitemZ140351755556QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Parts?hash=item20ad9dd524

and they 5 for 11 squid.
Any reason to not get the eBay ones? strength wise?

there is no way I'm gonna pay 4 quid per bolt!

For me, just get the probolt ones, at least you know they are well made, whereas ebay's a complete lottery quality wise.

How much are OE bolts?

(Why do you want new ones anyway?)

haven't checked OEM prices.

my current ones are rusted to feck, some are rounded out. considering the quality I am restoring the rest of the bike to there's no way I'm putting the originals back on.

just ordered mine from eBay Smile

Will report back with quality when I get them.

N30, the ones I linked to are M8 x 30mm so I imagine that the 3mm wouldn't matter too much considering how much more thread there is in there anyway.
Let me know the shoulder size though Smile

Proper kawasaki ones, £17.25 ON Ebay

Or £1.84 each for pattern ones on wemoto.

Mild steel, which is stronger than titanium and much stronger than stainless (titanium is lighter but for a titanium bolt and a steel bolt of the same size, the steel one will be stronger).

I recently bought some pro-bolt nuts. And I can say, they are mighty expensive!

I paid £17 for 6 sprocket nuts, that are probably M8 in size (quite small).

They do look good, and the colour (black) didn't scratch off when being done up with a socket.

But I don't think they are worth the premium unless you are doing a show bike, or are being a real tart!
