Default Cheapest Chrome Bolts to be found

I don't normally recommend sites; but recently I have been changing out a lot of the bolts on my Heritage to chrome. Gad! I was surprized at the prices asked for chrome bolts. Some of the package deals are a deal; but most are rediculous. I purchased a bunch of bolts from this site. they were as good as anybodies and about half the price. Take a look.

You usually get what you pay for. All it takes is one of the cheaper bolts of a lower grade to break off and you are looking at a possible problem that would negate the cheaper prices. Most bolts are grade 8 on these bikes and cheaper ones can be found but the grade isn't what it should be JMHO.

Some common sense is required. I'm not talking about using these bolts for engine mounts, etc without asking what grade they are. But I replaced a slew of general purpose bolts and saved a bunch.
