Default Anyone in need of fairing bolts?

Just thought I'd post this as I've been looking for some fairing bolts lately to fit some lowers and to replace a few missing ones that I've misplaced and the cheapest I could find were pro-bolt kits on ebay for about £18. Not sure how much Suzuki want for a kit but I bet it's not cheap and Robinsons want nearly a couple of quid for just one of them!

Looking into it a bit more I found out that the bolts were M6x16 button head allen bolts and found 20 of them on ebay for £2.25 delivered:

Thought I'd share as it could save a few people a bit of dollar!

EDIT: This is for a curvy btw, not sure if the pointy's the same.

Don't the fairing bolts have a shoulder to stop the clamping the fairings and cracking them?

Hmm not too sure actually. I only needed two so I thought these looked identical and would be ideal. Maybe not though. Sure they'll do the trick for the 2 lower fairing bolts I have missing.

The fairing bolts are all shouldered so you can fully tighten them without cracking the plastic as tim says. You could use a standard bolt with a small metal bush instead.

The lower fairing on mine has shouldered bolts AND metal top hats that allow you to do them up tight without cracking the fairing but spread the load on the rubbers, may not be as original though.. By the way who knows where you get the tophat spacers and rubber grommety things?
