    Pro bolt are expensive mate, have a look at race bolt, Titan classics or measure the pitch length and eBay titanium bolts, will be a lot cheaper that way

    Yeah I bought my carbon parts from their, great products! The only problem is that they don't do colors and I'm unsure what size the rearset bolts are.

    Just for interest I believe the 4 bolts to be M10X1.5 (standard metric coarse) judging by the 8mm hex

    I’d be careful as anodised bolts are generally aluminium. I found some black bed stainless bolts for the chain guards. I’d go for stainless as a bare minimum on things that take load eg rearsets

    No makes sense I was looking at the difference in metal types so out of aluminium, titanium and stainless steel....stainless is the strongest?

    Titanium has the best strength to weight ratio - it is harder than stainless but as light as aluminium. Stainless is hard but heavy and Ali is soft and light. If you buy aluminium bolts don’t be surprised if the thread comes off. A lot of aluminium components that have threads that are load bearing or used frequently have stainless helicoils in so the thread does strip

    In short; go titanium for optimal results or at the least stainless A2 grade
