I put most of one of the loop stainless kits on a customer's Eldo last
night.

Very, very nice, especially for the money charged. I buy stainless in
bulk, and that would be fairly close to what I get them for, unpolished.

I think the guy who put together the kit is on this list, so here's a
few comments and suggestions based on what bolts my customers like to
see replaced so the bolts don't grow beards in rainy Seattle:

1) The police sidestand mount is threaded, so you do not need to
provide nuts and two sets of washers.

2) Consider expanding the kit to include the socket-head cap screws for
the intake manifolds and tranny back cover.

3) Consider expanding the kit to include acorn nuts and washers to
clamp the rear drive to the swingarm and the tranny to the bellhousing.


4) Consider expanding the kit to include the two cap screws for the
neutral-light switch.

5) Consider expanding the kit to include the axle nuts and washers

6) Consider expanding the kit to include stainless banjos for the oil
lines at the cylinder heads.
