Stainless Bolt Kits on evilbay

**New2Tri-Z** · 01-31-2013, 07:42 PM

Has anyody had any experiance with these kits? http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-TRI-Z...7589cf&vxp=mtr. I was wanting to pick one up but wanted to make sure it is actually a Tri Z kit and not just some random bolts that look/work closely. Just wondering if anybody on here has any experience with these kits? They offer polishing to mirror finish also, anyone running those? Do they look as good as described?

I bought a set from eBay, it's still in the original packaging. I'm waiting to get back home to put it back together. It looks like they've packaged it up nice and neat with individual bags labeled for the entire trike. I did read a paper with the package saying the stainless bolts require different torque specs for some reason,,,

They look a lot better than my old thrashed ones I removed! I'm sure several others have used the same or similar bolt kits in the past. I'd like to hear some feedback myself.

The only thing i would be concerned with is how much softer stainless bolts are, they also gall up easily. I hate stainless, more pain then they are worth i always end up snapping them off.

I prefer OEM hardware and have never used stainless kits. I have heard Loctite is a Must on stainless hardware.

I would buy these kits before the stainless ones.

Just picked up one for my R as well, packaged and labeled very well...seems to be good quality, polish on them is very good.

I've done considerable research on this (i'm a freak that way) and have talked to numerous people that have done this and the general response is to go with a seller by the name of "fastenerguy". His kits include every conceivable bolt you could need, usually more than necessary, high quality stuff, packed and labeled to specific location/use and very competitivly priced. He also covers a ridiculous variety of machines. I have personally seen a minimum of 3 of his kits in use and they are flawless.

With all that being said...OEM replacements only for suspension related bolts. Most SS bolts can/will/do bend or break under the stress.

"fastenerguy" is who mine came from. I think the only fasteners not included were the swinger bolt and the foot pegs.....everything else I think is there.....I will know when I re-assemble.

Yes, I have used fastnerguy's kits and have not had any real problems with them. I have had 3 -4 bolts out of hundreds, have some messed up/less then perfect threads out of the box but that is a minimal number for the amount I have used. Be sure your threaded holes are clean and tapped well and use either cheap rtv silicone on the threads or silicone paste/grease to keep them from siezing or galling the threads. DO NOT use the SS bolts for your suspension components. They do bend. I do agree factory bolts are better in most cases if you can afford them.

I just checked my eBay feedback and my SS Bolts were bought from Alloybotlz (17243) 99.9% feedback.

I can't find my SS Swinger bolt feedback, I just got one of them too. Ill be home soon to put it all back together, starting with the engine! I'm sure the SS bolts will look good, do they really snap off that easily... I always thought SS was pretty durable?

My entire 200x flat track project was put together with fastenerguy's stainless/polished kit for the first gen 200x. Overall I was pleased. 98% of the bolts were there. Unfortunately I couldn't use some of them because of all the aftermarket parts I was using. The bolts are good quality and yes you need to use loctite on the swinger bolts and the wheel nuts. Overall I would give the kit an A-

**userj8670** · 02-01-2013, 01:11 PM

I used fastenerguy for my 250sx buildup and I have no complaints. As stated everything was labeled in seperate bags which was definatly nice!

**Rigaman** · 02-01-2013, 01:57 PM

I bought a kit and some of the bolts had the wrong thread pitch like the base nuts. A few were just wrong too. The lower motor mount was too short. And a few others just didnt work.
