Yup. I go with an old skool hardware store. Preferably with one that smells like turpentine and moth balls... they sell everything from Dickies to PVC and every bolt/nail/washer/coupling ever seen. AND, the guy in the back is named Norman.

I did some more digging on BikeBolts.com. It looked like the bad press was just from one or two people. I went ahead and ordered a full fairing bolt kit for around $42 shipped. (use the 4forum20 coupon code for 20% off). Tomorrow, I'll see if the dealer has the one bolt I lost, and I'll use the BikeBolts kit for spares.

I'm probably going to hit the dealer up for oil/coolant drain plugs and a filler cap, too. Losing something is a lot less frustrating if you have a spare sitting on the shelf.

Because that's what forums are for. Sharing knowledge.

i thought it was for killing time at work

I don tknow if you ewould need the other plugs you listed, only one I have hear dof loosing is the oil drain plug and even then that was on track bikes that werent safety wired.

i have lost various fairring bolts and the worst was loosing a brake caliper bolt. I may take my set of bolts with me to the twf rally too just in case.

I was with Tommy.

But, seriously... I'm ever curious of threads like these where someone asks a question and ignores the answers. That's all.

Back from the sucktastic dealer. It's a 1-week wait for a stinkin fairing bolt.

What answers am I ignoring? The hardware store solution? It's not out of the question; I just haven't had time to get there yet. My chances are slim, it's one of the big fairing bolts with the goofy shaped heads.
