FAQs

What is an OEM style bolt?

OEM style bolts are bolts that are the same as your original bolts that came on you motorcycle from the factory. Our OEM style bolts are exact factory sizes with the same head style and strength ratings and meet or exceed the factory specs.

Our bolts are very strong, heat treated fasteners, that wont strip out or round off like cheaper grade bolts offered by other companies. 

These are all zinc plated to look great, resist corrosion, and last the life of your motorcycle or ATV. They resist salt water and oxidation and will look great for years to come. They are also a lot stronger and lighter than the stainless steel bolts being offered by other companies as well.

Can I find these at a local hardware store?

As most of us know from experience, OEM style fasteners are not available at our local hardware stores. The metric hex bolts found at Ace or Lowes are not the same.

These fasteners are only found at the cycle dealerships and expensive to purchase on an individual basis. 

It's nice to have them on hand, right when you or your riding buddies need them.

What about OEM style nuts?

Specbolt uses OEM type flange nuts. You get a generous assortment of flange nuts in M5, M6, M8, and M10 sizes. You also get nylock nuts in M6, M8, and M10 sizes. And a full set of new lug nuts for all 4 wheels.

What about metric washers?

Washers are important for most everything including plastic bodywork, engine, and exhaust mounts. We include a nice variety of the most commonly found washers used on your bike.

Will I get any sealing washers?
