Grade 5...it's all we ever use in ultralight aircraft. "aircraft grade bolts are just grade 5 that are more or less inspected for flaws.

Well the one in my signature was my first,
but I did do alot of fabrication to the bike,
front and rear fenders, the seat mount and
close out below the seat . . .
But I am planning on starting bikes from scratch. . .
basically a stack of tubing. . .
We'll see . . .
For more detail pic of my bike look here:

The usual stuff:
cut off wheel(big help)
drills
sanders
grinder
rivit gun (pneumatic)
pop rivit ( not my first choice)
welding (I had to out source but I am working on getting a welder)
Imagination
determination
ingenuity
Those last 3 are propably the most important . . .
Alot of people scratched there heads and laughed when I said
I was going to make an Indian beach cruizer . . .

I Just stripped a stud pulling the bolt way out loosing it!!
I Just stripped a stud pulling the bolt way out loosing it!!! I think going around 30 MPH (Looking at my speedometer) did the trik of stripping it. It is the one that helps the clamp grab the bike post below the seat.
So help me. I guess I should screw in a larger bolt that is Grade 5 than the one that came with the dax kit? Would that be the sturdyest replacement? :?
