Yep, Fred, they sure do. They also have stainless axles. Just give 'em a
call (937) 855-3300.

I believe Epco stainless makes them. I got a set at Mid-Ohio this July.

I've looked and couldn't find them either. I just use socket-head cap
screws instead.

Good review, Greg. I ordered a set too, so it's nice to hear positive
feedback. I'll add one suggestion (that is probably impossible to
come by): Consider expanding the kit to include the four "tall-head"
handlebar riser clamp bolts.

 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.
