Custom colors and shapes
Color is achieved through voltage-controlled anodizing.
Each shade results from oxide layer thickness variation.

Anodized Color Options
Titanium develops color through anodizing, not paint coating.
Color is formed by controlled surface oxidation.
No pigment layer. No peeling.
Available finishes include:
- Blue
- Purple
- Gold
- Green
- Burnt Rainbow
- Natural Titanium
Color tone may vary slightly depending on bolt shape and surface finish.
Custom color requests can be discussed for bulk orders.

Customization Options
Special head geometries available.
Custom outer profiles.
Engraved or cut-out designs.
Thread size per request.
Length made to specification.
Surface finish adjustable before anodizing.
Produced according to drawing or sample.
Motorcycle Applications
Designed Around Real-World Motorcycle Upgrades
On many builds, the bolts are the first parts that start to look old.
Steel fasteners pick up surface rust quickly, especially around fairings and engine covers. Even when the bike runs perfectly, those small spots change the overall look.
Titanium bolts are usually chosen to avoid that long-term surface issue.
Not because they are dramatically stronger, but because they stay stable in normal road and weather exposure.
In custom projects, standard catalog bolts often don't match the design direction.
Head shapes may look too industrial or too generic.
That's where CNC-machined special heads become part of the visual detail rather than just hardware.
Color is another factor.
Anodized titanium doesn't rely on paint. The finish is part of the surface itself, which means there is no coating layer to chip off during installation.
For many riders, these bolts are small components, but they sit in visible positions.
Over time, consistency of finish matters more than raw tensile numbers.
Common Applications

Fairing and Body Panel Mounting
Fairing bolts sit in plain sight.
After a season of riding, standard steel fasteners around windshields and side panels usually start to show surface marks or rust stains.
Titanium is often used here simply because it keeps its appearance.
For builds where color matching matters, anodized heads blend into the overall scheme instead of standing out as dull hardware.
Engine Cover and Case Bolts
Engine side covers and small inspection caps are another common replacement area.
These bolts are exposed to heat cycles, road spray, and frequent removal during maintenance.
Titanium handles moisture and environmental exposure well, and it doesn't leave brown marks around the cover edges after repeated use.


Exhaust Heat Shield and Guard Fasteners
Heat shield bolts operate near higher surface temperatures,
though they are not primary load points.
Titanium is often chosen to avoid surface scaling or discoloration that can
appear on plated steel bolts over time.
Rearsets and Accessory Mount Points
Rearsets, license plate brackets, and accessory mounts are frequently modified in custom builds.
Instead of using standard catalog fasteners, some builders prefer custom head profiles that match the overall design direction of the project.

Quality Control
Custom titanium bolts are small components, but dimensional accuracy and surface consistency directly affect installation and visual result.
Each production batch follows internal dimensional verification before anodizing.
CNC Dimensional Control
Thread size, pitch, and head profile are checked after machining.
Go / No-Go gauge verification for thread fit
Head diameter and flange thickness measurement
Surface flatness inspection for washer-type heads
Consistent geometry ensures smooth installation without forced tightening.
Surface Preparation Before Anodizing
Surface condition directly affects final color quality.
Before anodizing:
Burr removal and edge finishing
Oil and residue cleaning
Surface polishing (if high gloss finish is required)
Improper surface preparation can cause uneven tone or patchy coloration.
Each piece is processed under controlled conditions before color treatment.
Anodizing Color Consistency
Anodized titanium color is voltage-based, not paint-based.
To maintain uniform appearance:
- Controlled voltage parameters
- Batch color comparison under natural light
- Random sampling for tone deviation
Slight variation can occur due to geometry differences, which is normal for electrochemical coloring.
Final Inspection
Before packing:
- Visual inspection for scratches
- Thread cleanliness check
- Random torque fitting test
Only parts that pass surface and dimensional review proceed to packaging.
Packaging & Shipping
Titanium special bolts are small components, but surface finish and thread precision must be protected during handling and transport.
Packaging is arranged according to order type and quantity.
Individual & Small Batch Orders
For small quantities or mixed specifications:
Each size packed separately
Inner poly bag or small protective sleeve
Bubble or foam layer to prevent head surface contact
Color anodized bolts are separated to avoid friction marks between pieces.
Custom Bolt Kits
For motorcycle upgrade sets or mixed color orders:
Sorted by size and position
Packed in divided box or compartment case
Clear labeling for easier installation reference
This helps prevent mixing similar bolts during assembly.
Bulk Supply Orders
For larger production batches:
Packed by size in sealed inner bags
Outer reinforced carton
Cushioning material to reduce movement during transport
For international shipping, export-standard cartons are used to minimize impact damage.
Shipping
Standard shipment methods:
Express courier for small orders
Air freight for urgent supply
Sea freight for bulk production
All shipments are labeled by size, material grade (Gr2 / Gr5), and color specification if applicable.



FAQ
Q:Do the colors chip like painted bolts?
A: No paint is used.
The color comes from anodizing, which changes the titanium surface itself.
That said, it's still metal. If a wrench slips, you can leave a mark.
Q: Can I swap these in place of my stock steel bolts?
A: For fairings, covers, guards - usually yes.
For load-bearing or safety-critical parts, it depends.
Material grade and torque spec should be checked first.
Q: What's the real difference between Grade 2 and Grade 5 here?
A: Grade 5 is stronger.
Grade 2 machines smoother and is often chosen for visible parts.
Most cosmetic upgrades use Grade 2.
Higher stress areas lean toward Grade 5.
Q: Will the blue or purple tone look exactly the same on every bolt?
A: Not always perfectly identical.
Color is voltage-controlled during anodizing, and small geometry differences can slightly affect shade.
Under natural light they remain visually consistent.
Q: Can I send my own design for a custom head?
A:Yes.
A drawing, reference bolt, or even a marked-up photo is usually enough to start evaluation.
