I'm thinking of swapping out my windscreen bolts for black ones. I see a bunch of them on ebay, in different sizes, most of which include something called "wellnuts" (which I don't even know what they are). Here's one of many examples: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Black-Windscreen-Bo lts-Wellnuts-Kit-CBR-600-F2-F3-F4-RR_W0QQcmdZViewI temQQhashZitem414b8028fbQQitemZ280439564539QQptZMo torcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Can someone tell me what size bolts I'm looking for, whether I need wellnuts, and for that matter what wellnuts are? Also, are the aluminum ones OK, or should I stick with stainless? | ||

If you take off your windscreen, you'll find rubber washer/nuts ("wellnuts") stuck in the bodywork under the windscreen. If you're doing bolts and wellnuts...you can get any size you want as long as they match. | ||

Thanks, Rat. So are aluminum bolts --- the majority of the ones I'm seeing --- OK, or should I go with one of the few offerings in SS? | ||

Aluminum are ok but, for the little extra I'd go with the SS. One note, if it's below 45-50 degree warm up the Wellnuts with a hair dryer other wise you can tear them when they are cold. (Been there, done that) It also allows them to spring back once they have been compressed. | ||

I found some at the hardware store (ACE) 10-32 size Get the length just a tad longer than what you have now. |
