Titan Classics: 45131-ha5-672

Friday, 9 September 2016

Dudes!

Hope you've had a great summer. New stuff that has been developed and some of which is now on sale are as follows.
Here's a Honda fitting titanium pin that fits many calipers. Part:45131-HA5-672

The standard OEM part may corrode if the rubber sleeve perishes allowing water to get in, so this not only reduces unsprung weigh but will keep you caliper maintenance free for longer.

There are 10 Titanium front wheel spindles being titanium nitrided right now for the NSR250 MC28 and the first one will go on my bike of course, with a weight reduction of about 120gm I believe.
Here is also a picture of some castellated Titanium caliper pistons that will be on sale soon too.
The castellation is to allow air to get into the cavity of the piston as well as reduce the contact area with the pad which gets extremely hot.
As Titanium is a poor conduction of heat these pistons will keep the brake fluid cool under race conditions.

KX500 pre 1988 head studs

These studs are M10 to M8 thread and fit models before 1988 when Kawasaki went over to M8 to M8 bolts

That's it for now. Check out the titanclassics.com website and let me know if there are any parts you think would be good to have in titanium

Cheers

Titanium Nitrided (TiN) parts

Hi,
It's been a couple of months since the last post. In that time a load of new product has been put on the site. For example. If you're the proud owner of an NSR250 There are TITANIUM front wheel spacers which save about 40gm of unsprung weight but also look gorgeous when fitted

There will be a couple more spacers added to the product line up. They mainly fit the CBR900RR but a few different bikes too.

The hot product I totally love is the rear caliper piston in Titanium but also Titanium Nitrided. With a super hard, shiny gold surface that's meant to reduce friction. Personally I didn't notice any difference when riding about but there's a 40gm weight saving and they'll never corrode.
Have a look at the picture below of one next to the corroded standard part.

Upcoming Titanium products that'll be on sale in September 2016

Below is a Titanium Nitrided front wheel spindle. Same dimensions as the original part but will save about 150gm of unsprung weight

So, if you had this spindle, the 2 spacers and the nut on the end you'd save about 200gm in unsprung weight!

Other parts being made are head studs for the KX500 KX250 from before 1988 which is M10 on one end and M8 on the other. You can't get this part any more so KX owners can get this as a new part.

Below is Titanium Honda part 45131-HA5-672 which fits onto caliper for bikes like NSR250 CR500 CR250 etc.

I'll probably sell it paired with the smaller pin for this type caliper.

I'll probably do a caliper Titanium deal where you can get the Ti pistons, the pins, bleed bolts and any caliper bolts. It'll probably save a lot of weight straight away.

That's the update for now. I'll probably do a new order of parts in about a months time and I'll try and keep you updated of whats new on the titanclassics.com website.

Oh yes. All products are added to the Titan Classics site first. Postage to anywhere in the world is now capped at £10. So if you order a whole load of parts, you'll pay no more than £10.

The site is now also a https:// Website, which means it's a verified site
