The stock rotor bolts on Pre-2000 Ducatis typically consisted of small 4mm allen-headed bolts that strip easily. The problem was due to the small allen head size. Since 2000 Ducati has used an upgraded bolt with a 6mm allen-head. The newer bolts resist stripping, but the zinc chromate finish tarnishes. Our bolts are stong Stainless Steel 316 grade panhead bolts that look great, won't strip, won't tarnish, and are 1/3 the cost of titanium bolts. The head has a 5mm allen-head. Pre-2003 Ducatis used a 20mm long shaft, while 2003+ bikes have a 15mm shaft. 2005+ Monsters came with a 20mm shaft length torx-headed bolt. If you insist that stainless bolts are best used elsewhere, you can order our Titanium rotor bolts here.

Ensure 1 drop (and one drop only) of low strength loctite is used on each bolt during reassembly. Too much loctite can cause rotor bolts to seize in the wheel, thus destroying it. Another option is to use a dab of antiseize paste (lower torque 10%) and use a lock-washer.

Indicate shaft length when ordering.

$6 for a set of 6 bolts. 2 sets are necessary to do a front wheel. 3 sets are needed to do a front and back wheel. Note: Will not work on Ducatis using rear wheel speed sensor.
