    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Engine case allen bolts

I'm powdercoating engine case covers for my '77 gs750 and looking for a new set of engine cover allen screws to replace the originals. Has anyone sourced a complete set otherwise identified the sizes and a good us supplier for stainless metric allen bolts??
 
Thanks. Looks like Z1 has a kit for about $30 plus shipping. Could Ace Hardware or bolt depot be less expensive?

Absolutely not.


Probably not -- :indecisiveness:

But I don't mind paying a few ? more to have them on the shelf convenient for immediate pick-up as I roll past the store twice everyday.
:greedy_dollars:

Shopping local can help keep them open as well - but I do buy from Z1 when the mood or parts require it.
 
I've done it both ways. Z1 lit is really complete, and inexpensive. $35 doesn't buymuch SS at Ace. I like http://www.dmpfasteners.com/ too. I wanted the 10mm lower fork pinch bolts and acorn nuts in SS with Allen head bolts. DMP had them. Lots of button heads too, that look good on the headlight rim. In Tillamook, the ACE, and the Farmers Co-Op have lots of stuff, but not the weird stuff. No matter where you get them, the price adds up. I try not to count it too closely.
