    Fastest way to get SS exhaust bolts?

    I was planning on getting SS bolts for the exhaust anyway, but upon my first longer ride with the 1150 today, several bolts vibrated right out of the head.

    At least they didn't break off in the head...

    So, I need some new bolts ASAP. What's the fastest route to that goal?

    Hardware store?

    BTW, common hardware store grade stainless hardware is about 20% weaker than the stock Suzuki bolts. Make sure you use lots of anti seize on those bolts.

        Are you guys kidding? I've never seen Lowes, Home Depot or any local hardware stores carrying something like that. They always claim it's too odd a size...

            The two in my area have a section of drawer cabinets with , I think they call it 'spectilty fasteners'. Like snap fings, o rings, and stainless hardware. I think 1 or 2 drawers are stainless metric.

                  Ace Hardware....find the section that has the thin plastic containers of specialty items. You should be able to find hex head and socket head bolts in stainless steel.
