Where do you get spare bolts etc?
 
Due to swapping my fairings around every now and then, the fairing bolts are getting worn/rounded slowly.

Where do people recommend getting replacements from? Honda like to charge rediculous amounts for genuine parts.

Also what are the Allen Key type bolts you get on fairings actually called? Are they button heads?

Thanks

You can try companies like M&P or even Motrax- normally they sell sets of fairing bolts and also sets of assorted bolts for spares. They're possibly pricier than from screw shops, but worth a look.

I would have said cheese head bolts, but I'm sure someone around here will know better.

I'd like to know what any bolt is called where it has the unthreaded section near the head (like on fairing bolts).

I need to get one for my side panel- one appears to been way overtightened and I rounded it the other day (partly due to inferior allen keys too).:rolleyes:

I have got my replacement bolts from MandP Probolt fasteners.

Dome head bolts according to Pro-Bolt. They also do threaded collars that give a "shouldered" effect to save you cracking your fairings due to overtightening.
