Why BIKEBOLTS.COM?
I've been rebuilding wrecked sport bikes as a hobby for nearly 10 years. After finally getting tired of spending hours and $100’s in hardware stores trying to find the right bolts for installing fairings, I decided to put my purchasing resources to use. By profession and career I am a Mechanical Engineer. As an engineer I have a number of relations with material suppliers. This is how I get my stock! All of the bolt kits are guaranteed to fit with or in place of the factory hardware. For most bikes they are a big improvement over the steel hardware.
I'm a bit of rider... I've been riding motorcycles since about the age of 12 years old. After seeing Tom Cruise streak down the side of a runway with a 1985 Ninja 900 in TOP GUN, I just had to have a sportbike. The very first bike I acquired was a sporty little PUCH moped from a generous neighbor after a few lawn jobs. After a few summers on the PUCH, I moved on to a Honda CB350, then finally to an entry level sportbike, the Kawasaki EX500. After the EX, I finally got smart and acquired a Honda CR125 dirtbike. In the dirt I spent time practicing slides, wheelies, endos, and various other maneuvers. From the age of 17 years old to current, I have managed to average about a 10,000 miles of streetbike riding a year. Throughout the years I've owned numerous makes and models of sportbikes, including some of the greats such as the Honda 900RR and the Yamaha YZF R1. I've been as fast 170mph on two wheels and as fast as 150mph on just one. I've had my share of tickets for both speed and what I call polite reckless operation (i.e. rolling up to a stop lights on my front wheel). My favorite motorcycling past times include suiting up in the leathers and getting ballistic with smooth curvy country roads, passing high dollar sports cars on one wheel at high rates of speed, and just cruising with my pals on the back roads. My current ride is a Ducati 1098, which has proven to be an outstanding performance machine.
Keep the rubber side down and be defensive....
