I've just tried to mount my radial calipers with some titanium bolts.
But I couldn't turn the bolts in very smooth.
Just to be sure this is not caused by some old loctite I want to clean the thread in the forkbottoms with a tap.
Is the thread in these forkbottoms M10 or is it an other size?

Thanks, I will check if the titanium bolts are M10 x 1.25 as well.

That was the problem.
The titanium bolt I've tried was M10 x 1.5 (normal thread)
Ducati uses M10 x 1.25, fine thread.
I've now ordered the Pro-Bolt titanium caliper bolt kit.
Just to be sure I have the right thread, length an strength.

That's the one. I ordered 10mm x 1.25mm x 55mm for my radials as I'm using 320mm discs. If you are using the 330mm discs then you need 10mm x 1.25mm x 60mm plus the 5mm spacers (if you don't already have them) to move the calipers outward.

I'm using just like you the 320mm discs so I don't need more length.
I'm not sure what length I've ordered, I've just ordered the bolts compatible with the 1098 fork

Do you know the torque settings of these bolts?

Don't forget to use anti-seize on the threads.

I've had to Google where anti-seize stands for (I'm Dutch).
Ohhh, Copaslip..., That's multi-purpose paste on my bike, thanks!

Use OEM torque settings for Ti bolts.
