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.
