Husky bolt kit?

[Don Joy]

I've lost a couple bolts of my bike and am looking for a bolt kit. Which kit would be best for me? I've lost 3 bolts for my plastic, and a exhaust shield bolt.

I just went down to my local shop and bought a bolt kit for a Japanese bike. They are all metric. I've never seen a HUSKY specific bolt kit on the shelf (not to say they don't exist). I steered away from the KTM, since they are Torx style bolts heads.

Be prepared to lose a lot more!! Check your rear subframe bolts too as mine have fallen out! Try www.pro-bolt.com they will have what you need, use locktite too.

Wow, that place is pretty cool Freaky! Especially if doing a one-off show bike or something, but dang, they are expensive!!!

They are expensive for titanium as pictured above on my TL1000R, £120 that lot cost, but very well made.

Same here. I just bought the Trackside brand for Japanese bikes http://www.cyclegear.com/eng/product/Japanese_Sport_Bike_and_ATV_Bolt_Set/web1007466
They also make a European kit, but I'm not sure what the difference is.

Thanks guys, I was looking at the kits and didn't like the KTM kit because of the torx. I have a Lawson bolt bin in my garage which has all the standard hardware I need, similiar to this-http://auctionimages.s3.amazonaws.com/24382/2348/24382_2348_22X0N2IG1.jpg . it's just the plastic bolts have the flange and some have a thick shaft and small threads. I go over my bike pretty well so I'm a little surprised that I'm loosing bolts like this. I haven't locktited them but, never had to in the past. That will change now.

Some need locktite, some need anti-seize...


My rule of thumb. The ones that fall outneed locktite, all else gets antiseize!

I use these

Unlike Blake, I like that they have combo torx/hex heads. The Euro bolt kits have smaller hex heads than the Japanese kits I've seen, matching OEM Husky for head/bolt size.

Loctite, anti-seize, silicone. Recently I have been safety wiring certain bolts. Subframe was first, engine to frame bolts and nuts( pain in the A$$), kickstand, exhaust the frame bolts, wiring the brake pad clips together, then the bolt for the TPS cover made this cool guy cover for the TPS housing out of scrap aluminum

 

[268fords]

my exhaust to frame threads stripped out so Lawson bolts were used too. A little heat shrink over the wire and you can't feel it. also got a little anal on the exhaust springs. You can see how the frame to engine bolts were secured. A little dab of silicone on the ends of the wire keeps four letter words at bay

Errrm .... the lower one is wired on the wrong side.

 

[Kyle Tarry]

Lower what? They all look right to me.

Apologize! I was looking at it the wrong way up. You´re right. The nut turning loose would tighten the wire.
