Author Message   Sir_wadsalot Posted on Friday, June 13, 2014 - 09:01 am:        Where do I get the screws for the airbox cover and whatnot? Just the stock ones, nothing fancy.   Dhays1775 Posted on Friday, June 13, 2014 - 07:02 pm:        http://americansportbike.com/newdir/Item/17326 You may also be able to find them at a hardware store...   Sl33py Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2014 - 03:56 pm:        American Sport Bike is a great company and happy to support them usually... But at 3.81 ea it gets $ quick. Especially as many as i've managed to lose... I found Aluminum versions (a bit of weight savings). Have them at home and will confirm size/specs and provide here.

I believe the correct call out is a Button Socket Cap shoulder Screw I can't find one that matches, it's an either or Button Head Socket Cap Screw: Socket Shoulder Screw: (Message edited by sprintst on July 01, 2014) (Message edited by sprintst on July 01, 2014)   Sl33py Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 03:21 am:        I went with the button head m6 x 1.0 x 16mm http://www.probolt-usa.com/aluminium/aluminium-bol ts-dome-head/alloy-dome-head-bolt-m6-x-1-00mm-x-16 mm-pk-x-10-black.html 14.18 for a 10 pack = 1.42 ea (<1/2 cost of oem) uses 4mm alen key head. 2.5g vs OEM 7g (both w/ washers): too many pics?... measured length and head width. Length for both is ~20mm. head width - AL one is about 2mm larger (14 vs 15.9) because of the slight shoulder the OEM threaded length is 12.36mm vs 14.9 perhaps a bit overkill... but only took a sec w/ my phone to snap these. 2.5g x (how many bodywork bolts?) vs 7g x same #. 4.5g savings ea (453.5g = 1 lb) - so 100 of these to save a lb. Not really practical (not that many i'm sure), but hey it's less expensive AND lighter! Hope it helps next guy looking for bodywork fasteners. And they come in colors!   Sprintst Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 07:36 am:        Sl33py - I think that's an adequate solution. Everyone just needs to remember that the stock bolts are shoulder bolts, so they provide a torque stop to keep you from overtightening them and cracking the plastics. Those replacements bolts don't have that, so just be aware and don't over tighten   Nuts4mc Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 09:52 am:        McMaster-Carr has nylon shouldered spacers in various lengths a 6mm bolt is very close to a 1/4" bolt in Dia. (just in case you want that extra protection) http://www.mcmaster.com/#shoulder-spacers/=socnhi   Ak_addict Posted on Thursday, July 03, 2014 - 03:35 pm:        Add a shoulder, also from Pro-Bolt.
