Does anybody know where I can get a engine bolt kit? I wanted to repaint the engine and was going to replace the bolts with polished or stainless bolts. Is there a supplier or a list of the bolts somewhere that do this.

Best way to go is to just order your bolts, far far far cheaper

I have replaced pretty much every single bolt on the bike with stainless at this stage, just by ordering the sizes I need.

Have a look at this thread

Thanks Conrod, will definitely give them a go. Now to make the list of what to get. Are there any particular sizes which is common on the bike? Thinking I will get a box as the website has got a sale on box buys.

Yep M6 * 25 and M6*30.

That list on the other thread, would that cover most of the engine bolts?

I used zinc plated instead of stainless as stainless has a habit of snapping with little stretch where as the zinc coated steel bolt will yield a little more and you can feel it before it snaps.
If you go with stainless, definately use a tension wrench and set by spec(10Nm on case bolts)
I've replaced most of the engine and frame bolts with cap heads and it makes maintainence so much easier.

if you go with stainless also put some copperslip on the threads to stop galvanic corrosion,
