Which Titanium Motorcycle Parts Can Be Made?
Most titanium work on a motorcycle is fasteners: the bolts and nuts you see and touch, and the ones that carry weight you would rather not carry. Grade 5 titanium takes those jobs at a little over half the weight of steel — and can be anodized to match the build.

Where Are Titanium Bolts Used on a Motorcycle?
These are the areas riders and builders most often upgrade to titanium on popular sport, naked, adventure and scooter platforms. Your kit can cover one area or the whole bike.
| Area | Typical titanium parts | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Wheels & drive | Axle nuts, sprocket nuts and bolts, chain adjuster bolts | Pairs naturally with a new wheelset |
| Brakes | Brake disc (rotor) bolts, caliper mounting bolts, master cylinder clamp bolts | Critical fasteners — follow the bike maker's specification (see below) |
| Front end & controls | Triple clamp pinch bolts, handlebar clamp bolts, lever pivot bolts, rearset bolts | Highly visible — popular for colour matching |
| Engine | Engine cover bolt kits, clutch and alternator cover bolts, oil drain plugs | Usually threaded into aluminum — use anti-seize |
| Bodywork | Fairing, windscreen, tank and seat bolt kits | Low-stress, high-count — the easiest weight and looks upgrade |
| Exhaust | Exhaust flange studs, nuts and hanger bolts | Titanium copes well with heat |
Grade 5 Titanium vs Steel vs Aluminum Bolts
Why grade 5 titanium is the default choice for motorcycle fasteners — and where steel still has the edge. Figures are typical published material values, not test results for a specific part.
| Property | Grade 5 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) | Steel bolt (class 8.8 / 10.9) | Aluminum bolt (7075-T6) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Density | 4.43 g/cm³ | ≈ 7.85 g/cm³ | ≈ 2.8 g/cm³ |
| Weight vs steel | ≈ 44% lighter | Reference | ≈ 64% lighter |
| Typical min. tensile strength | ≈ 895 MPa | ≈ 800 MPa (8.8) / ≈ 1040 MPa (10.9) | ≈ 500–570 MPa |
| Corrosion | Excellent, no plating needed | Needs plating or stainless grade | Good, but softer threads |
| Colour | Anodized colours or natural | Plated / black / stainless | Anodized colours |
| Best for | Most visible and weight-relevant fasteners | Where the maker specifies high-tensile steel | Low-load cosmetic fasteners only |
A straight word on critical fasteners
Grade 5 titanium is stronger than a class 8.8 steel bolt but not as strong as class 10.9 or 12.9. Where the bike maker specifies a high-tensile steel bolt — some axle, caliper, rotor and engine fasteners — check the specification and torque before swapping, and let your engineer or workshop make that call. Titanium threaded into aluminum should go in with anti-seize to prevent galling, tightened to the bike maker's torque values. If your program needs material certification or test documentation, state it in your request and we will confirm what is available for your project.
Which Colours Can Titanium Bolts Be Anodized?
Titanium is coloured by anodizing: the oxide layer grows to a set thickness and light interference produces the colour — there is no dye or paint to chip. That gives a familiar palette rather than any colour you like.
Anodized colours
Gold, bronze, purple, blue and light blue are the common titanium colours — gold and blue are the classic motorcycle choices.
Natural titanium
Raw or polished grey titanium for a factory look, or to sit quietly next to anodized wheels and parts.
Matching your build
Titanium colours come from a different process than aluminum anodizing, so they will be close to — not identical with — anodized wheels or billet parts. Check the finished photos before dispatch.

Titanium Motorcycle Bolts — Questions Buyers Ask
What titanium do you use for motorcycle bolts?
Grade 5 titanium, Ti-6Al-4V (Chinese designation TC4). It is the standard alloy for motorcycle titanium fasteners: about 44% lighter than a steel bolt of the same size, with excellent corrosion resistance.
Are titanium bolts as strong as steel bolts?
Grade 5 titanium has a typical minimum tensile strength of about 895 MPa — above a class 8.8 steel bolt (about 800 MPa) but below class 10.9 (about 1040 MPa) and 12.9. Where the bike maker specifies a high-tensile steel bolt, check the specification and torque before replacing it with titanium.
Can you make a complete titanium bolt kit for my bike?
Yes. Send the brand, model and year, the areas you want covered, and the OEM bolt list or measured samples. Kits can be packed per bike, per area or in bulk for dealers.
Do I need a drawing?
Not for standard fasteners — thread size, pitch, length, head style and quantity are enough. Custom titanium parts need a dimensioned drawing, and a sample is made and approved before production.
Which colours are available?
Titanium is coloured by anodizing, which gives a set palette: gold, bronze, purple, blue and light blue are common, or natural raw or polished titanium. Colours are close to, but not identical with, anodized aluminum wheels and parts.
What is the minimum order?
The work is mainly for brands, dealers and private-label lines; smaller orders are considered case by case. MOQ and lead time depend on the part, size and quantity and are confirmed in your quote.
How should titanium bolts be installed?
Use anti-seize on the threads, especially into aluminum, to prevent galling, and tighten to the bike maker's torque values. Do not over-torque titanium fasteners.
Can titanium bolts ship with my wheels?
Yes. Titanium hardware can be quoted and shipped together with FLEXIMOTO wheels and other parts on one order, photographed for your approval before dispatch, with export and import clearance handled and tracked delivery.
