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??

Just did mine - used this parts website to get the sizes https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/su...ncase-lh-cover
Then went Bolt Depot online https://www.boltdepot.com/Metric_soc...rews.aspx?nv=l
And had them shipped ... little more expensive than perhaps going to a retailer but ... time is money and this was pretty simple.GS550T 1981

Thanks. Looks like Z1 has a kit for about $30 plus shipping. Could Ace Hardware or bolt depot be less expensice?

Probably not --
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.
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.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things
