New brakes

I am installing new calipers, rotors, pads, ss lines and quick bleeders on my 2000 vert. In some forum posts i've noted that new bolts should be installed when replacing calipers. Is this correct? Anyone know for sure? Thanx.

I used the same bolts; I don't see why you would use new bolts as long as the old were still good. I've never heard of anyone who has replaced them.

They were probably talking about a hardware kit. Some come with bolts and everything depending on the price. I wouldn't change them unless you have had issues with caliper fitment or rotor warping etc.
