Was doing a stand up yesterday....has I was coming up and adjusting the height my left side rear set broke ( bolt thats hold it on ) .... I know exactly what happen when it done....I camed down find but I was 80miles from my house and now second in 2nd gear . Got to my boys house...bust put the zip ties....click it to 4th and let it and road home with my leg on the passenger peg . This is the 2nd time I have bust this bolt. I tried last time to get a strong bolt and was advised that the stock is the highest grade ( wish I dont believe realy) am 6'4 and about 230lbs. I know you lot stunners jump all around your **** ( Number#2 straights kills it ) what grade bolts are you guys using. I have a 03 R1 . Thanks

T-NECK

GRADE 8 (gold) for you big guy!

Towlieee

Have you been dropping your bike hard?


I have a hard time believing a rear set bolt just breaks off from riding on it..


Now if it hit the ground, and fractured the bolt, then it makes sense

Nellie636

gold grade 8's, or black allen head bolts. both same grade. and make sure that **** is tight

Lethal Rider

No I have been dropping it hard...am been not 100% gently but i do have some control...and both times happen when am pushing down on my pegs to bring it up...

any automotive store should carry grade 8 fasteners, i think the best most hardware stores have is grade 5

Towlieee

naah I ment wrecking it hard

I dunno, I guess R1 pegs are weak

You should know where to go for fasteners! Home depot son!


No but really, I usually go to an Ace Hardware, they always have every bolt 95% of the time.

T-NECK

most locals shoud have them, home depot, fastenal, etc

Lethal Rider

I havent wrecked hard ( knocking on my head at this time ) close calls thou ... yeah I broke the right side 1x and now the left side twice time to look for gold grade 8 bolts...any websites guys? or just the local auto store?

stock05

i almost didnt catch that, dick.


ace usually has what i need, but they dont carry grade 8, or at least the ones around here dont.

if you want to buy from a website and get some serious fasteners go to www.stage8.com

Lethal Rider

on the phone with them now

HECK

the 03 r1 rearset bolts have been recalled if i remember correctly because so many people have crashed when they broke. ps lose some weight you fat ****

get a Honda

Do staggered and stand on your passenger peg. That wont help the bolt from braking but will be easier on your arms. But on the topic, I took off my peg the other day and noticed that the bolt that was holding it on is bent a little. Ive been meaning to go get a grade 8 bolt but ive been lazy. Ima go get one now. Sorry I was of no help

Lethal Rider

6"4 and I weigh about 230lbs .... u think am Fat I might not have the 6 pack back when I was a young buck... I have a litt gut...nothing like I cant see my **** or something but man am not that fat ... didn't hear about the bolt recall...will have check on that

Lethal Rider

I just learn SS about 3 weeks ago...my form sucks. I was also nervous about passenger peg breaking or bending I ask OMR if he makes a subcages for a R1 which lowers the height also but he doesnt
DO WORK OMR DO WORK DAM IT LOL LOL LOL

Question for those people recommending a grade 8 bolt. Are you just running a nut at the end with some loc tite or what? Or do you drill a hole through the bolt for a cotter pin like the stock setup
