I keep bending my mounting bolts so i thought about ti replacements.

I've found a few companies that supply normal bolts but i need smooth ones with the thread on the inside.

Ti will bend more easily than steel.

If you do want ti then I'd try [url= http://www.tastynuts.com ]Pro Bolt[/url]

Something sounds wrong if you're regularly bending steel shock bolts frankly!

Apparently not uncommon?

Better that the bolt bends and absorbs the shock than the mount or the frame. Is the shock set properly, ie it should be absorbing the shock rather than transmitting it to the bolt / mounting.
