had to take my rotors off, most of them are stripping out
18 or so years and 36k of use has taken its toll!
the dealer wants 40 bucks for a set
I have found titanium ones for TWICE that
any suggestions on good place to order them up or should I just get em from the dealer?

Where'd you find titanium ones, that sounds interesting.

If the threads on the bolts are trashed....have a look at the threads in the wheel.

Ordered M8X20 bolts for my Ducati / Brembo rotors on Thu, 8 Feb 2007 at 10:20 and had them in hand 9:30AM Sat, 10 Feb 2007. Bolts fit perfectly. I give them a AAA rating for service, products and value.

I actually ordered some I found on Fastenal's website
https://www.fastenal.com/web/products/d ... 0025A20000
But those ones you got are purdy!
maybe I'll order some of those up a bit later and swap em over
I want to get snowflakes eventually!

I might be selling the snowflakes next week. Looks like we're all getting the axe here at Dell so instead of fixing the FZR, I'll probably part her out.

Yeah, gotta love downsizing. And the resulting drop in the level of service which makes the company's future profits even smaller and results in more downsizing.........
And my bad, I thought the entire rotor was being discussed, not just the bolts. $80 for a set of rotor bolts isn't my idea of a good deal, titanium or not.......

Yes it is, but I'm not needing to shave a few grams off the front end to warrant spending that kind of money. A dragracer or road racer, yes, but I'm just a daily commuter.

Well it looks like I made it past the
first round though many of my friends didn't.

I can't tell you how relieved I am for you, Kudos man, and here's hoping you make it by any other rounds

Tech support is such a dicey way to make a living...... Last to get a decent budget and first to get hit with personnel cuts.
