Windscreen screws
 

AJ Sutton want �2.38 per windscreen screw. Anybody know if they are available elsewhere for a decent price?
Cheers.

Yes - loads of places, they are the same thread as fairing screws, so take your pick (Halfords do a selection of colours) of bike shops/eBay etc.

Don't panic about using alloy screws, you can fall off as much as you like and the screen doesn't break. I don't know why Yamaha use plastic ones that break if you look funny at them. I changed to black anodised alloy years ago.

Oxford do sets too.

If you throw your bike off the back of a pickup on the other hand :D

That was with plastic screws. A couple of them snapped, the remainder held and broke the screen. That is the MM tall screen, which is a bit thinner than the Yam one.


IMO the Halfords, Oxford, etc alloy screen screws are nearly as bad as the plastic ones for rounding as soon as you wave a screwdriver near them. I've now got some steel ones that used to be fairing screws on a ZZR1100 I broke for parts years ago.

That's cos you're a rough ass....... and need screwdriver driving lessons :sweat:

... or when you throw the screen in a ditch...

... while the bike is still attached to it...

the plastic bolts will do what they are designed to do...

Cobblers!! You are simply not trying hard enough Darren!!

I use SS like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M5-M6-M8-S...item1c28f86b00

That's not fair... I'm well aware of the lakeland dry stone walls that jump out. And just being pedantic , but the bike stayed upright.

Of sorts - yes, after I helped..

Thanks all; I have ordered some.
