Anyone interested in a group buy on stainless steel cap screws?

[Rudemouthsky]

   I get this stuff ridiculously cheap from my supplier in China but I have to buy in bulk, if I get a few takers we can replace all the hardware on our engines and bikes with nice stainless for literally a few dollars each. I'm already up to my @ss in M6 hardware but now I need to order M8. Lemme know.

There's an oxmoron hiding in there somewhere.

"Nice" and "China"? 

Their stuff is very, very nice from what I've seen. Exact same stuff anyone selling kits online gets.

How much is "few dollars?"
I may be interested.

Depending on price and also since I'm mechanically an idiot which bolts or how many do they replace and are they universal across years? Is there any worry about electrolysis (I think that's the word, where two dissimilar metals corrode faster)?

It's hard to say exactly, they range all the way up to M10X100 millimeter. If someone can give me an example list of size, pitch, length and quantity of each I'll tell you exactly. Doubt you'd have more than $20 in it for multiple dozens of bolts. The stuff is cheap if you place a minimum order and I'm willing to carry the majority of the cost. I just don't wanna piss off my wife even more by having a bolt warehouse in the dining room lol

Matter of fact if someone would be cool enough to give me a couple lists of what it would take to build "Monster Kits" that included all of the engine covers, clutch cover, hugger, fender, triple clamp and handlebar I'd gladly give you a set for free and list the group buy price by tonight.

I'd be interested in a set for brake rotors. I believe they're M8x25mm. I think there's 6 per front rotor and 5 on the back, that right? So 17. But they need to be short heads.

I don't use stainless for rotors, I prefer 12.9 alloy with Dacromet coating.  12.9 is far far >>> than common A2 or even A4 stainless.

Dacromet is like teflon coating but heat/acid/everything-proof.

Where do you get them?

Mdmetric had them for a while.  They are 10.9 not 12.9 but plenty better than stainless.

I think I have a kit in my parts bin.
It comes with a list of sizes and quantities.
Intended for use in the first gen monsters.
Will look for it this weekend and report back.

  nice. Whatever's missing, I'll mic myself from my own bike and include a list with each kit.

I'm seeing all kinds of bits that can be swapped out with stainless. The M6's that mount the controls look crusty.. all the hardware holding the calipers, fender, hugger, etc. A complete kit would be a very nice makeover for these bikes.
