Finally we replaced some critical bolts for lighter aluminium cheaper too (-: for many purposes on the Buell Screw Aluminum 1/4-20 Silver button head http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=&aid=11004&cid=439&s=&a=&aname=Screw_Aluminum _14-20_Silver_button_head Screw Aluminum 1/4-20 Black button head http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=&aid=11005&cid=439&s=&a=&aname= Screw_Aluminum_14-20_Black_button_head Screw Aluminum 1/4-20 Silver Button w shoulder http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=&aid=11006&cid=439&s=&a=&aname=Screw_Aluminum _14-20_Silver_Button_w_shoulder Screw Aluminum 1/4-20 Black Button w shoulder http://www.twinmotorcycles.nl/webshop/artikel.asp? guid=&aid=11007&cid=439&s=&a=&aname=Screw_Aluminum _14-20_Black_Button_w_shoulder | ||

Any help with cross-referencing which of these bolts replace which current fasteners? I'd like to order some of these - but I want to make sure I'm ordering what I need. For example - would be nice to replace the airbox cover screws with black replacements. Those would be the collar screws, correct? | ||

Thes are mainly used for replacing the plastic body work parts like front fender, airbox cover. | ||

So could I get the exact part numbers (for ordering from your site) for the screws for the front airbox, front fender, and for the chin cowl...in black? then I can confidently place an order... Jay | ||

An equally important question is do you have the matching nylon washers for the shoulder bolts? I believe HD charges something like $2 US each for them (!). | ||
| Vicenzajay |
Great question! Thanks! | ||

home depot sells washers just like those but you have to bring one in as an example. Like 5 for a dollar. | ||

home depot sells washers just like those but you have to bring one in as an example. Like 5 for a dollar. The last time I checked, I could find washers with the right outside diameter but the inside diameter was too small for the shoulder bolts. I had to go through an elaborate process to fix them: - get 2 pieces of scrap wood, clamp together - drill hole same size as washer ID through both boards - unclamp boards, put washer in between, center washer in hole using drill bit, clamp boards back together - drill hole of correct larger size through boards and washer - repeat, making a new hole each time This process is OK if you just need a washer or 2 like I did, but a PITA for multiple washers. I'll have to look at Home Depot and Lowes again next time I need one. | ||

Need to make a metal punch to cut the centers, would be much easier to get them cut. | ||

I am due for a new pack of washers. If I am successful in finding them again, I will post the SKU or whatever to facilitate purchasification. | ||
| Hughlysses |
Thanks Nate! | ||

Thanks, Nate. I'm in contact with easyrider about a quote for a bunch of fasteners. Unfortunately, the kicker is the postage from the EU.... | ||

Go buy the proper size punches from Harbor freight or the inter web. Cut a flat section from an old milk container or Clorox bottle or such. With a little practice you'l have an "endless" supply of washers for about $10.00 for the punches. | ||

Washer fluid jugs seem to be in an endless supply around here, good plastic for things too. | ||

Hopefully Twinmotorcycles will send a ton of these to 5-0 or whoever stocks their parts in the US. That way we all dont get jacked with shipping | ||
| Greg_e |
Might be easier to send the drawings to the USA and have someone machine them here and send them to different retailers. | ||
| Vicenzajay |
I did wind up doing an order. We worked out a slightly better shipping quote. I'll let everyone know how it all turns out. I, too, hope these get bulk-shipped to Sandro, and then it should be much easier and less expensive to sort them for U.S. customers. |
