First impressions are awesome. I am VERY impressed. I think that the depth is somewhere between one which would be mandatory on a show bike. Everyone wants to show off their bikes, but I think that a lot of these bolts were not noticeable enough. I think that less than 5% of riders (even K12 riders) can appreciate this extensive nature of this kit. I do want to add that you're instructions are extremely helpful. I like the idea of the fairing kit, and I don't think \\$20.00 is too much. MONGO LIKES Good job Dude!

I've never seen a more user friendly kit of anything. If a guy has a problem installing this kit, he should be sent away. Excellent, excellent, excellent. I can only imagine how long it took to take the photos, etc. You definitely have too much time on your hands. My tech that owns the Blackbird said "And I thought I was anal!" And, he is. Waxes his toolbox, etc.

As soon as I saw the stainless steel fastener kit on your site I ordered it. Installing it on my bike was very easy with the charts that were included. It is worth every dollar I paid for. The kit looks great on my Dakar Yellow K1200RS ( by the way the only good looking color for this great BMW bike). I have sent the comments on the kit that I found on your site to my local BMW dealer and maybe he will recommend your kit to his customers. Your site is updated as a link on the pages of my BMW club www.bmwclubnederland.nl. Hope you can keep up the good work with your products on your site. They all look very good. Ride safe.

I recently purchased your "Stainless Fastener Kit" for my K12... WOW impressive compilation! Really appreciate the completeness of your kit, to include the sizing tool. Kudos... it obviously takes a lot to accomplish quality like this. (if only other vendors where so thorough)

Woooeeee Pirate! Your Stainless Steel Allen Replacement Kit is wonderful! I've bought kits like this for other bikes, but yours shows a tremendous amount of thought, research, and responsibility. This kit has EVERYTHING and looks great, getting rid of those FUGLY BMW allen's. Very elegant and tasteful. Heck, Pirate, one would think you were a big-time operation with the quality and packaging of this product. Fellow riders, I heartily recommend this product AND.....this stainless steel won't turn gold! (inside joke.)

The kit was well done. very easy to understand, even for me. The pre-packaged fasteners for each area with torque values and warnings were very helpful. This enabled me to store the replaced screws in an orderly fashion for reassembly if need be.

Impressive. I have purchased stainless kits for many bikes through the years. Most were overpriced and incomplete, but the k12 kit I just opened looks not only complete but user friendly. Nice work and many thanks for another fine product.

This was the second product I received from you, Mr.Pirate. The first was the Stealth tankbag. Once again I'm impressed. The kit was better than expected. Didn't even use all the screws but will sooner or later. I can see where the stainless will look better on some bikes than others in certain areas, but at least I have the option to decide for myself. Nice instructions! Keep up the good work and keep me informed of future new products. If you are ever in the area let me know and we'll do lunch.

Always hated that BMW put the worst looking bolts on their bikes. They could learn a few things from the Japanese in this respect. Trying to save a few pennies at my expense, I guess. The SS kit makes all the difference. At least to ME. Thanks for another fine offering.

As I write this I have a big smile on my face. Just completed the SS kit install. (see pictures) Looks fucking great! My Graphite 99 looks better now than she ever has. Surprisingly, my wife walked by a litttle while ago. She stopped and looked for a minute and said .. "Something is different. I don't know what it is but it looks better." This is the FIRST time she's ever noticed anything I've done. You da man, Pirate. Appreciate the good customer service. You'll be hearing from me again in the very near future. Got my mind set on that torque arm and my birthday is coming up. Safe riding.

Install was easy thanks to your charts. The look is greatly improved. Didn't realize that stainless values are less than factory bolts. Nice touch including the alternate values. Didn't use the caliper bolts but probably would have been disappointed if they hadn't been in there. Had 2 extra fairing screws, but I always lose one from time to time. Good thinking. Overall, a nice product at a good price. Hope to meet and ride with you in the near future. Best wishes for continued success with Pirates' lair. Keep me on your mailing list. Love your cheesy newsletters.

Pirate - got the kit. Thanks a million! Got most of it installed and I am thrilled with the results. That is one slick kit you've put together. That was no minor effort!
