'ryanracer' spec Ti tank bolts 696/1100 installed w/ pics

I guess I was one of the first to jump on the Ti tank bolt kit he slapped together. It's a subtle but noticeable change if you're used to looking at your bike. The common folk won't be able to tell the difference anyway so this is more of a personal mod..
It's refreshing to my eyes. Besides the silver gas cap, it breaks up the dullness of the tank area.. In my opinion.

Sorry about the craptastic pictures. My camera is pretty shitty.

Stock. 


Ti bolts installed..MUCH better.

So this gives me an idea.  I took out the tank bolts and measure, M5 x 12mm.  I happens to have several stainless steel cap bolts of that size, so I put them on.  I really like the contrast it gives to the tank.  No it doesn't have the cool taper head, however.  But not bad... I like:

It's more personal taste than anything. Just something else on the list to do.. 

I eventually will turn my bike into a "Dark" so this will add some contrast to the tank portion as in peanut_man's case.

Thats also one of my favorite ways of personalising my bikes but I prefare my Ti in a gold finish and yes its the kind of mod thats only noticed by fellow ducatisti
