Big Blue Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I didnt have any problems with mine. I dont know if this help but the tops of mine are stamped with A2-70 I havent been able to find any bolts long enough for the upper a arms yet the kit has everything for the plastics. This one shows they are there, I may be able to get the food peg bolts I'll check next time Im buy the place that sells them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will work, but they won't be nearly as strong as the grade 8 stuff Just sucks since they actualy cost more money than AlloyBoltz as well. But since Alloy Boltz is closed I guess I am kinda limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I havent had any trouble with any of the suspension bolts which I assume are the ones that take the most stress, I just took all my suspension apart and the bolts still look the same as they did when I put them in if that makes you feel any better.

I found this chart http://home.jtan.com/~joe/KIAT/kiat_2.htm But I guess im not going to worry about iot since the good stuff is not available anymore anyways. For Footpegs and motor mounts though, it would be nice to have the stronger bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Interesting info, alteast the A2-70 is not far off from the 8.8 I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand4ever Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 on my bike I had the upper a arm bolts chromed and also the swimgarm bolt along with the shock bolt with the zerk fitting. I also went to ace hardware and they sell chrome bolts, so thats what I used for my foot pegs. But I also drilled my foot pegs to 12 mm from the 10mm stock. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather find stainless ones I know they are not going to be cheap. I think I was talking to Russ actualy and he said they would be like $20 each! but well id pay it after what I had to go through last time. I wish I could find a cheap chrome shop around here I might consider going that route but I'm not ab out to fork out $100 to chrome my nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand4ever Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I used el monte plating in el monte california and they only charge .50 a bolt and .50 a nut. I would think as long as you keep grease in the a arms they would not freeze up. And for the pegs I used anti seize on them. Idk I guess use your best judgement for yours.

The grease goes on the outside of the sleeve (between sleeve and Tubing on the arm) when you use the zerks. I did put some grease inside the sleeve, but you have to remove the arms to press the bushing and tubing out to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
