At �17.63 before the 7.5% discount (which is �16.31 plus p+p = Tot �18.51) the deal can't be bad, can it?

Stainless screw means no more rust and discolorations!

As we all know the original screw on our engine tend change colour after the first wash I only saw another company that made these screws at a bike show and they were asking for �29.99

I've ordered a set myself, it would be rude not to!!

Miguel and George please pass it on to your countrymen in your international forums.

Thanks

Set ordered.

Another great one there Capt , will have to order me a set of those as my bolts are near non exsitent with the amount of corrosion on them. The only thing im worried about it getting the oe bolts out.

I tried to get 2 of the yokes bolts off the other day to get access to something but even a socket started to chew it up . Hope this doesnt happen to the engine ones!!!!

Make sure the engine is well hot when you remove the old screws and then try the following:

1) soak them in WD40
2) try to tighten them before undoing them, that movement of tightening looses them when you want to unscrew them. (it's an old trick)
3) make sure you have the best allen keys available, don't use cheap and uneven shaped ones.

Same here, arrived this morning, bleeding fast that was!! As Dave said good quality and the price is right! You'll be mad not to get some!

Bloody Postman woke me up for them, I was recovering from a late shift!!!

When fitting these is it best to remove/fit one screw at a time?

I remember once someone telling me to loosen engine bolts in a particular pattern or possibly risk warping the engine casing.

I like the idea of replacing the dull bolts with some nice new shiny jobs.
