Model-specific aftermarket replacements: These bolts are selected for the CBR650F front spindle pinch positions. They are aftermarket replacements, not genuine Honda components.

Head style and materials: The supplied bolts are A2 (304) stainless steel. Their head appearance may differ from Honda’s original bolts.

When should you replace front spindle pinch bolts?

• Corroded or rounded heads: Replace damaged hardware that is difficult to remove or refit.
• Damaged threads or missing bolts: Missing bolts must be replaced with the correct specification. If the bolt or fork-leg threads are damaged, the mounting needs proper inspection rather than simply fitting a replacement bolt.
• During wheel or fork service: Check the bolts and clamp threads whenever the front wheel or forks have been removed.

New bolts cannot repair damaged fork-leg threads, a cracked axle holder or incorrectly seated wheel components.

Model-specific OEM replacements: Biker Bling selects the supplied replacement fasteners and fittings for the front axle pinch positions on the fork legs on the Honda CBR650F 2014–2016, rather than supplying a generic assortment. The critical fitting dimensions match the original Honda fixings for those intended positions. These are aftermarket replacements, not genuine Honda-branded components.

Fitting the front spindle pinch bolts

Important: Front spindle pinch bolts are safety-critical. Confirm the replacement fastener is suitable for this application, support the motorcycle securely and follow Honda’s workshop sequence for spindle installation, wheel alignment and tightening the axle-holder bolts. Use the manufacturer’s specifications for the fastener and thread condition; do not guess a torque value. Our stainless steel bolt fitting guide and bolt strength guide offer general background only.

Before riding, check the front wheel and forks are correctly aligned and secure, then make sure the brake operates normally. If a bolt binds, the threads are damaged or alignment is uncertain, stop and seek qualified help.

Customer questions

Is the front spindle included?

No. These are the axle holder pinch bolts; the spindle, wheel and fork assemblies are not supplied.

Where should I use the anti-seize compound?

Use it only where the relevant motorcycle or component instructions specify a suitable thread treatment. Inclusion of the pack is not an instruction to lubricate every fixing.
