Ok I am running a xvalve with a L7 (dont ask why, just like it) and with very brittle paint of course it breaks.

Quick question: is there an upgrade bolt working better? What is the review on the Venturi?

And yes I could switch back to L10 but I simply dont like it easy

ahahahah

ok some clarification: i made my egomag complete with eyes and therefore I didnt feel like I needed the L10 anymore. I must admit it is way more stable at the chrony, better air consumption et great rof

But...On brittle paint, the shock must be too big...so I was just curious to know of the aftermarket bolts for the L7 were worth it

Makes a bit more sense. As far as I know, none of them are any softer on paint but I haven't tried them personally. I'm surprised to hear the 7 is breaking paint without chopping though.. that must be very brittle paint.

Maybe a fomie style L7 bolt , I wonder how a longer spring would work ?

The weird thing is that I have a Rt on/off and a red spring and that stuff shoot so nicely!

With the eyes and the rotor I am not too worried about chopping!

most aftermarket bolts that ive seen are not as gentle on paint as the original level 7 bolt with the foamy installed.
