P112 PRODUCT REVIEW I PRO- BOLT TITANIUM BOLT I f you've watched MotoGP with an eagle eye, you may have noticed many of the front runners with a little yellow and black Pro- Bolt sticker attached to their bikes. Pro-Bolt is the world's leading supplier of aluminum, titanium and stainless-steel fasteners for race bikes, and they also have their hands in aviation, watercraft and construction. If you're racing, the number-one thing you want (aside from copious amounts of horse- power) is as little weight as possible, and when I bought my Suzuki GSX-R600 last year, one of the things on my wish list was a titanium bolt kit. They are beautifully crafted pieces of engineering, and the bling factor alone is almost worth the price of admission. The various nuts and bolts are usually dramatically lighter than stock, and almost all the bolts come pre-drilled for lock wiring—a must for any race organization in America—which saves you plenty of time in race preparation. Pro-Bolt has aluminum, titanium and stain- less-steel fasteners for pretty much every motor- cycle on the market dating back around 20 years. The Pro-Bolt brake caliper bolts are just beautiful.
