Title: Colored bolt kits for your bike
Post by: xsv on April 22, 2014, 10:07:32 AM

Recently I have swapped out some of the stainless (silver) body panel hardware to black button socket bolts on my black Concours.

Today I stumbled across this sight.  http://www.probolt-usa.com/vaf/product/list/?category=%3F&Type=8&Manufacturer=72&Model=1248&Year=1279&x=26&y=8 (http://www.probolt-usa.com/vaf/product/list/?category=%3F&Type=8&Manufacturer=72&Model=1248&Year=1279&x=26&y=8)

I wondered if anybody had used them.  ZG is the first to come to mind, but have not seen any posts on the topic.

Sorry bro, that was a pretty old thread, I do often go through my photobucket account and delete old pics if they either aren't great or just irrelevant, sorry about that...  :(


I did get the Pro-bolt kit though and went with all black bolts, they look great IMO!  8) :chugbeer:
