Topic: F2 rods vs K rods. Polished, shot peened and balanced....

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

Downward force of the crank turn holds em down and in place?

Mike,
  Is there an option for upgraded bolts for the K-rods anymore?  I know a couple companies used to.

John.....I use new F2/3 bolts. They are the only option I've found.

As an extra to using the correct socket to not mark the nuts also make sure you dont leave it on the last one you tighten, buddy of mine did and it was the first time i ever seen the alloy crankcase punched outwards by the sprocket

I believe Soos was going to use GSXR1000 rods in a 650 build, and I wonder about those bolts. I suppose they're a larger diameter. I'll send him a note.
