OEM Style Nuts and Bolts Source
« on: May 01, 2016, 08:41:26 AM »
Looking for a list of the nuts, bolts, washers, and fittings Kawasaki uses on the KX500.  For example, a list such as:

Application     Part No.          Size         Style                                                     McMaster-Carr/Fastenal/Grainger Similar Part No.
Seat Bolt       92150-1892     6x20mm    Flange bolt w/ smooth head and washer

are you looking for specifically OEM hardware?...that'll get expensive.

I've been using the Specbolt kits for several years, and I know some others on here do too...not bad quality at all, and priced fairly.

here's a 120 piece kit...if you click his "See other items", he has all kinds of different size kits...and he'll even customize any kit you want.

I've been slowly recording all the nuts and bolt sizes of the engine and buying Chichanium (Chinese Titanium)

Foxx, sources other than Kawi preferred for the reason you mention.  The previous owner(s) of this bike replaced some of the original hardware with a mishmash of aftermarket fasteners I'm trying to clean up.  Referring to online parts diagrams to find out what goes where is a PITA so I'd love to find some type of comprehensive fastener list to cross reference.  I am a fan of the OEM-style smooth/domed/convex style bolt heads which keeps me from using kits like those from Specbolt.

Titanium fasteners are trick.

that's all I get from him, the only difference is the Specbolts are brighter/shinier...you just have to tell him what you want/don't want.
I replace all my old rusty, dull oem bolts with the Specs, motor, frame, plastics ...and they're identical to the oem's.

there's a couple other guys selling kits here in this list...
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=kawasaki+motor+bolt+kit&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xkawasaki+kx+motor+bolt+kit.TRS1&_nkw=kawasaki+kx+motor+bolt+kit&_sacat=0

some of that Chichanium that Sandblaster speaks of, might be worth looking into.

jBernard is another one you might want to get a hold of...he's been going crazy on titanium bolts/studs...and might be able to help out.

Totally missed the smooth/dome/convex style bolt heads browsing the first few pictures in Specbolt's eBay listings.  Reading all the way through:

Quote
-What if I want to customize my kit or request more of a certain type of fastener?-

Not a problem...If you have any special needs or want to request certain sizes just send me an email or call me.  I will do my best to create a custom kit with your specific needs in mind.

-What if I run low on a certain fastener. Can I get refill packs?-

Yes... I offer every one of our fastener sizes in convenient and economical refill packs. Just send me an email, check the website, or call me.

Seems like a no-brainer, especially given the option to customize the number of a particular fastener.  Super helpful.  Thanks, all.

I was the same way with old bolts up till this winter. Then I was informed from a local machinist / builder that over time bolts and threads stretch out of spec. Once out of spec a bolt or nut can wear away / deform / damage the threads even if the worn out of spec hardware looks good. Now I have a new box of bolts like those shown above for building with on serious projects. I still have used bolts for rinky dink projects and when needed for hand tightening assembly of works in progress.
