You mentioned that you have a wave rotor on order so now you will not have to use those pain in the azz cone bolts. Regular ole allens will do! |

Buellfighter, I used grade 5 to install temporarily but IIRC the stock fastener is much harder.I found a Mill supply that had grade 12 but he closed minutes before I arrived. Failed to mention in my phone call that he closed at 12 on Saturday. Is it safe to ride with grade 5 allens? I just got done polishing the fork lowers but left the text. Considering how much better it looks with the text removed, I guess its back to the grinder

Did your rotor carrier come polished or is that your hard work? |

Skntpig, Great tip on the stripped allen removal. Glad I didn't need it this time but I'm sure I will some day |

Hey Eric, my rotor is one of the early Braking rotors and yes I polished the carrier. I also polished my rear sprocket (pic in profile), it was anodized also and a pain in the azz. I would use the hardest bolts you can find for your rotor. |
