What alternative nut and bolt can I use?

Post by chownsy » Sat Jun 04, 2016 6:15 pm

I have been replacing all my bolts where I can with stainless to improve the looks of the bike.

I have got stuck on the rear sprocket bolts. 6x M8 with a collar and special nut. I however cant use standard as it appears 4 of the 6 were lost before I started to strip this down again recently.

Ideally I could do with Nyloc nuts onto what ever I choose to replace the bolts with

Can someone help me out as google search aint bringing up many options.

Try eBay search for m8 staytite stainless locknuts they are a bit closer to the original Honda nuts with a metal locking insert similar to o/e fitment Without the rusting a bit nicer than nyloc IMO.

I will have a look thanks

I need to sort some thing out for the bolts as I cant use normal bolts as then the sprocket moved on them due to the size differences

The locknuts with the metal locking collar are called fuji nuts.

I have a set of OEM ones off a spare NC24 swing arm I acquired for no discernable reason. You're welcome to them, but they're not pretty!
