Invisible Titanium Bling!
Right after showing great restraint by spending only $10 on frame plugs (plastic tubing inserts from Lowe's Hardware)......I was sucked in by the lure of shiny titanium on the TPO Parts website.....
The Gearshift Pivot and Kickstand Pivot/Nut now grace the lower regions of my Multistrada....
The Gearshift Pivot will also work as the Rear Brake Pedal Pivot....but considering the Multistrada's rear brake barely....uh.....brakes.....this seems even sillier than what I've already done....

was happy with the Lowes frame plug kit, but need a pic of these bolts in place to see what if any difference there is visually, or are you just going for strenght of the titanium bits

Bling is not important! Just think of all the weight it saves

That's not the titanium, that's the ethanol reacting with the plastic in your tank ;-)
