    I fitted my caliper mounting and axle pinch bolts today, along with some number plate bolts and sprocket nuts ..all from probolt... They look very nice, but after reading some replies from members today about probolt, I conclude they're a feking rip off..

    So, although I wanted some stainless bodywork fixings, I vetoed probolt and ordered these:

    STAINLESS STEEL FAIRING KIT BOLTS 2010 HONDA CBR1000RR CBR 1000 R RR | eBay

    £20 for the lot as opposed to probolts £73 for the caliper and others I ordered from them. I'll let you know the kwality if you're interested??

    I think ProBolt are a rip and over the years they have gone up and up, however.....if you want like for like bolts they are the only people who do some of the more specialist bolts, also it's not easy to find Ti race spec drilled hex head bolts from Joe Blogs nut and bolt shop, tbh I think the high end bolts they do are good value, if its just normal dome head fixings etc then yes you can get them MUCH cheaper elsewhere... but that's where it stops, ask Joe Blogs for anything else and he's fudged.


    Also I/you can get anything made by a man that can who has the latest CNC mills and so on (I often do) BUT for a 20mm bar of Ti rod....plus time....it's cheaper to by from ProBolt most of the time....
