    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

ok, done the basics like oil change, and adjusting the chain, but i was looking at the air filter, and the screws are striped to even get into the cover, i drilled them and used a screw remover to remove them, but i'm at a loss as to what to use to replace them, so i just got some metric socket screws

i got what i'm assuming are steel grade, and they have a plain black finish, i'm assuming these are ok:confused:, or do i need to go stainless since they are on the physical exterior of the bike, i couldn't find stainless at the local auto parts store or a couple hardware stores, so i'd have to special order those
 
If you have a Fastenal near you they should have the stainless one you are looking for.
 
What bike?

Also, any REAL* hardware store (Ace, DoitBest, etc.) will have these in stainless steel allen heads (socket heads). I love stainless. :D








(* Hint: Meantards, bLowes, and Home Despot are not real hardware stores.)

All they ever have for me are dumb looks. :mad: I have never once succeeded in spending a dime in a Fastenal store, despite many attempts.

Which is sad, because I live about one mile from a Fastenal store and their Indy warehouse is only another three miles away.

But never mind that. I'm sure the one in your neighborhood is wonderful.

i use the local stores, a True Value has the biggest selection around here, a whole aisle's worth, but nothing stainless or chrome, i'll try fastenal, maybe i'll have better luck
