I rec'd a set of Cycra bashbars recently. These are the ones that mount to the triple clamp and the end of the bar. The adapter on the triple clamp requires that I switch out the 4 bolts for longer allen head bolts. Where do I get these bolts? Biga$$ metric allen head bolts in a quanity of 4ea. don't appear to be easily available. Suggestions???
The kaw website lists the current bolts as 8X40 so I need a 8x50 or 8x60???

Not sure where you are from.. Here in So Cal, there's a hardware outlet called McFadden Dale located in Santa Ana. They've got those, and every other bolt imangeinable...

I'm from Illinois and I don't know of many places that sell metric bolts although I'm sure they're around. I did settle on a place called
http://www.boltdepot.com
. I have know idea what will happen. The bolts should be the right size but I have no idea if the thread pitch will be the same. Thanks for the suggestion!

I purchased some metric bolts at Lowes recently. I am not sure about the grade. I have been told that all bolts including their grading "strength" markings are cheaply reproduced over seas. I would not recommend these bolts for high stress areas. I prefer OEM bolts for places that hold my bike together even though they cost more. Have you ever seen someone land so hard off a jump it took 2 hours to put it together enough to be towed.

I've use bolts from lowes with good success. I do agree not to use them for high stress areas but really a bolt is a bolt if the grades can be matched. The problem here is there aren't OEM bolts for this. I had a choice between steel and stainless and I went with the steel for this application because they were of a harder grade.

TekBolt.com can fix you up. They even have titanius if you want it. I have the same setup and I am running 45mm bolts.
