thats 1 damn lucky son!

ive done a lot of searching and ive got reasons to believe your my real father . and for all the bday's and xmas's youve missed an rvf will do to start with.......

I'd stay away from titanium front spindles.

It's an unstable metal and should not be used for something critical like a front spindle.

As far as I know Titanium front spindles are not allowed in Racing due to potential failure of the part. ( )

I've heard that thay can break up / shatter... I'd stick with original Honda.

Very nice Bike by the way!

Hi is it the spindle thats Ti or the spindle bolt?, iv seen the spindle bolt on ebay but never a Ti spindle.

And yes its illegal to use Ti spindles in racing, although the guy who did my ctc course (multiple british and spanish 125 champion and raced in world 125 all alot) said all his bikes had Ti spindles they just had a steel inset in the end so when the scruits put a magnet on it it seemed to me magnetic so it is done.

wouldnt use Ti caliper bolts tho as iv heard lots of horror stories about them vibrating out

Hi Spike16 it's the spindle and the spindle bolt that are made of Ti.

Thanks for all the info.
