Funny Engine Bolts in Titanium?

Gecko · Apr 28, 2018

There are still some bolts on my Panigales that I haven't replaced with Ti.
Due to the fact that I did not find any seller for the silly two-sided steel bolt (picture attached to this post), I decided to manufacture them.

There are about 10-14 bolts on the Panigale, dependent on the setup.

I will let them produce anyway, but just wanted to invite you if you also want them. Let me know within the next two weeks whether you like to have some too and how many.

Material will be Ti Grade 5, rolled threads. No surface treatment. Can't tell the price yet because it depends on the ordering amount. But it will be cheap!

Cheers

Please count me in for a set

Where do these go? And if the SL doesn't have these as titanium I'd be game for a set

Let me in also

mordor · Apr 28, 2018

they go various places, if they are the ones I am thinking about. if you have the spare parts catalogue for a MY14 1199S, I believe you can see them among other places on the following:

drawing 9 part: 77917161B
drawing 5 part: 77917161B
drawing 12 part: 77917161B

If they are not the ones Gecko are thinking about, I am sure he will correct me

You've got them on your bike, in steel.

Most non-visible screws on the SL are not Ti. You can easily gain 1lb by replacing all these OEM steel bolts on the SL. On "regular" Panigales it's even more.

Attached picture shows a collection of steel bolts on the SL.

Do you have the total weight from all Titanium bolts vs OEM??

Okay, bolts are ordered. Manufacturing will take 3-4 weeks. They will be Ti Grade 5 (Ti6Al4V), and drilled for lock wire!!! Price will be USD 4.50 per piece (Cheaper than OEM bolt). Registered shipping worldwide is USD 14.-

Please let me know how many bolts you need.

2 pieces are to hold the flapper valve cable on the oil sump
4 are for holding covers on the RH side of the engine
2 to hold the battery tray on the LH side of the engine

Maybe I forgot something, please correct me.

You still have a flapper?

I replaced those with standard taper head.

2 holding the rear tank/seat bracket

Good news: Manufacturer promised to send me the bolts this week.

I ordered two types of bolts:

a) the one shown in the 1st picture of this thread which is mounted to the engine block: holding the battery tray, flapper valve cable tray and the rear brake cover.

b) a longer version of a) used for holding the fuel tank bracket (thanks to RetardedTiming).

Also I ordered some M5 flanged hex titanium nuts in case someebody needs them too.

I'll keep you posted as soon as hardware arrives.

I’ll take 8 plus the two to mount fuel tank bracket.
By the way, what’s about the two holding the ignition onto frame? And the two long nuts that go over them to hold the ignition cover?

gnance · May 28, 2018

I'll take 8. Thanks gecko

You'll get nice ignition cover nuts from probolt and podiumracing.

About the stuff holding the ignition lock to the frame: I would produce them if I find enough guys here that are willing to order. Also I planned to produce the M6 bolts with the inner M5 thread in its head. Same here, I need enough orders.

In the past I did a lot of small projects on this website. Unfortunately it seems that there is now less and less interest in minor improvements to the bike

We will see.
Let me first finish this little project, okay
