Did my whole bike from scratch, all you need is a drill press, ss wires and a $9 plier. You don’t need to wired the bike for most trackdays, alternatively (not race legal) you can use daps of hi temp silicone, just to make sure they don’t back themselves out even if it gets lose. ---

While it “can” be done with a hand drill, drill press is really the way to go. I have a cheapo drill press if you want to come and use it. Alternatively you can buy pre-drilled bolts, thats what the baller racers does but it will cost ya. > **[Pro-Bolt | Professional Motorcycle Bolts and Fasteners](https://www.pro-bolt.com/)** > > Pro-Bolt know you love your bike, our range of bolts and fasteners is used by race teams and individual riders and with one of the largest selections available, customising, accessorising or lightening your motorcycle is just a matter of choice. ---
