Hmmmm....that URL shows silver aluminum screws. I can't find an option to select black ones.

FYI, I ordered the bolts from the website mentioned above (discbrakeadapters.com).

As stated on the site, the bolts are black, not the silver shown on the site. They fit PERFECTLY.

I have the CRG bar-ends, and these improve the look (I had bought a simple hex-bolt and a spacer in the meantime, they worked but looked ghetto).

For what, $9... they were a great investment.

I looked into this a few months back as well before picking what I still believe is the best option, the fat bolts from the link above. They are black and look perfect. Get them. You will be happy that you did. Better than what you will likely find at your local hardware store. If you wants pics of them on the bike PM me and let me know.

Yeah, all fine and dandy, untill I hit the checkout. The cheapest shipping option they offer is UPS ground for $7.93! I just didn't feel like spending eight bucks to ship nine bucks worth of two little parts. They should also offer USPS as it would only be a couple of bucks. If I can't find anything local, then I may choke up the $17 for a couple little bolts.

Yeah, I remember the shipping was a bit much. In the grand scheme of things, for me at least, it was worth $15-20 to properly fill the holes. Just gotta get over the issue with the principle of the matter of paying that much for the shipping of something so tiny.

okay i hate to sound stupid ( ok i am stupid) how ever are we talking about the bolts for end of handle bars or to go into old mirror holders because mine have male thread on out side the bolts would not work on them. if i am talking about the wrong thing can any body help me then???

[jdub3]

24gt, we are talking about bolts to fill the old mirror holes. if you get bar end mirrors you're left with two female holes that beg to have something stuck in them, if ya know what i mean.

not sure if that answers your question?

Go to the sellers ebay store. Shipping is only $1.00. For some reason, he only has the Giant Fat Bolts (M10x1.00) listed at the present but he still has the regular Fat Bolts for the same price. Just send the seller a message that you want the regular Fat Bolts (M10x1.25) instead of the Giant Fat bolts. Also note that you get two bolts and a little hanger gismo for your $4.95, no need to order two.
