About this product
OVERVIEW
Maintains stable carburetor fuel levels and secure float bowl mounting through precision metric fasteners. This upgrade kit replaces original soft pan-head hardware with durable M4 × 16 mm stainless steel hex socket screws designed specifically for Mikuni and Keihin carburetors. Built to resist corrosion and prevent head damage during routine motorcycle maintenance.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

WHY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS
Riders select these hex bolts because they permanently solve the stripped-head failures common with factory JIS screws. The stainless construction and integrated spring washers maintain consistent pressure across the float bowl gasket, which keeps fuel mixtures stable and prevents sticky leaks during track days or trail riding. Swapping to a true hex head removes the frustration of oversized drivers slipping out of damaged slots, turning overnight carburetor rebuilds into quick, repeatable service tasks that reliably protect engine performance.
