Fred (or anyone else interested in plated hardware), I replaced everything on the Eldo with plated hardware from Gardner-Westcott. http://www.gardner-westcott.com/ Pricey but oh so beautiful. Never had a broken or stripped piece from them and I tend to be heavy-handed with a wrench. Never had one bit of plating peel off. They also have stainless, polished, brass, cad, etc. I've used them since the days when I rebuilt my G5 and that hardware kept its beauty for the almost 166k miles that I rode that beast. Probably still looks good. Also put it on my Harley three years ago and same story. Ya, call me a chrome whore. I love little bits of chrome against black. The trick is to find a plater that does (or can do) quality work. Many states have EPA laws the don't allow the "good stuff" or make it so expensive that it's not profitable to do. Get it while you can. While we're at it, my choice of platers is http://www.spacecoast-plating.com/ Ray pax sine tedio 73 Eldo "19"

Has anyone bought one of the Tonti kits? I wanted to know if the large allens that hold the lower frame rails/crashbars to the frame and the footpeg brackets to the lower rails are included, and if they are are they the original fine thread or a coarse thread?
I asked the vendor (via Ebay, I think it was Greg) but didn't get an answer.
TIA
