Subframe Lower Bolts

Gecko · Dec 8, 2015

It's winter and I want to make my Panis lighter while I can't ride them.

Does anybody know whether there is a Titanium source for the two lower subframe bolts?

Weight savings wouldn't be really great, about 30g

But I am at the point where I can only focus on these parts, everything else done.

Was looking at that last night... I have the side bolts in Titanium already, wondering if hourglass caliper bolts or something similiar would work?

Nice side bolts are available from PodiumRacing. I turned their head a bit down to make them lighter. Caliper bolts wont fit, they are M10, subframe bolts are M8.
I used regular M8 racing bolts for the subframe, but the head is a bit small in diameter.

Bought everything they have and added a bunch of other odds and ends titanium bolts i had for the ignition coils, electronics tray, fork cinch bolts etc etc.
using some pro-bolt race spec aluminum on other things that are not weight bearing or will not be tweaked in event of an OOPS.

Still going through the bike though.

Hmmm, why don't you want the valve cover bolts?
