Can't help on gold bolts, but when I have a project, I will go to local industrial supply store and buy stainless steel bolts in sizes I need. I always get extra and put into my nuts and bolts storage. You might try McMaster-Carr....they are an industrial suppler and have a bazillion different items in their catalog. They may have something that works. Just remember to use the right grade bolts for various applications. Grade 5 will work with most all of your bike. Any suspension, high torque, or "safety" related parts, always use Grade 8. Good luck on your search.

Back in the day Browns plating did real Gold plating. Don't think they are still around. Colony would be the source. You could try Tedd's cycle he might have them in stock.

Browns was the best in the days gone by. Had a show bike in the early eighties they did the chrome and real gold plated bolts. Today those bolts are worth big bucks. Now I'm showing my age. Paul's plating might be worth a call to see if they do gold.. CPR Cadillac restoration might be worth a call too. Old Caddy's had gold plate. Their restoration work is some of the best in the country. In Lagrange N.Y.
