RH and LH Head Frame Covers??

[Nathan Daube]

I just won the ebay bid on the RH and LH Frame head covers, and need to know how they mount. I was looking at the parts screen on some of the bike sites and they show 2 bolts per side, what thread and length?? Dont want to spend $ ordering them when a trip to the local hardware store would get the same bolts at a lower cost. Also there appears to be a large hole in both the covers and the frame area at the head, was that for a tiedown transport or ??? Always thought the bike looked like it was missing something now I know what.

Maybe it's MY bike!! I thought there was more room in the garage this morning....
I have no way of knowing the thread pitch, but I can say for an 82 gs650, they are pan head bolts (+) that stick out 1/4 of an inch from the covers.
