Default Stainless steel fixings

I'm planning on eventually replacing all of the fixings on my bike with stainless steel items and I've just found a place on EBay that sells a 560 piece fixings set for £19.99....

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/560pcs-STAINLE...item255fda58ae


They advertise them for Honda, but also advertise them for other makes too ... I would assume that it's a generic kit and the same kit for everyone?

Has anyone bought one of these kits? Was it any good?

Regards,

shakey

Check his feedback for these 560 bolt kits. Buyers generally seem to be happy with them.

With free delivery it sounds like a great deal, though I would think they are spares and possible replacements rather than a complete exact set of replacement nuts and bolts.

I bought a set of replacement fairing bolts and though they were shiny and new, they were not the same as the Honda fixings and I had to buy rubber washers to fit them so they wouldn't crack the fairings when I inevitably over-tighten them

But what the hell, sounds like a good deal

Never used them but take note - USE ALUMINIUM ANTI SEIZE COMPOUND with them or any other stainless fitting.

The interaction between dissimilar metals will have them stuck solid before too long.
