Hi guys... lost a couple of screws for my fairings... would like to replace them asap. Can anybody tell me where one can find these? do I have to visit the nearest powerhouse (will they have these?) or another place might have?

This is for my cbr125r btw.

thank you

Krashasaki has 3 suggestions:

1) Go and look at any CBR125 for sale. Nick the bolts, and thank them for their time.
2) Head to Bolts Plus, Brafasco, or Fastenal with a sample bolt and ask them to match it. It likely won't be black, so just spray paint it.
3) Look through McMaster-Carr's catalog.
4) Suck it up and buy it from Honda, because they're likely OEM-special bolts. Prepare to pay an arm and leg for these bolts.

Krashasaki has given up on replacing such bolts until the winter, when she'll be stripped, taken apart and put back together. Until then, just do what's necessary to keep her running!

On my bike I had two of the same bolt missing (not OEM special). Honda wanted $5 EACH, Brafasco? 3 for $2 tax in.

I have the same problem with my 250R. I'm still looking for viable replacements other than OEM, so I can just buy and stock a bunch.

Careful, I got some black bolts from brofasco. They rusted quickly. The torque applied by the wrench scratches the coating.

Someone once recommended me to heat up bolts with a torch, then drop them in used engine oil. I never tried it but it makes some sense.

You could give Murph of murphkits.com a call if you can't find anything. He sells a full kit of black stainless steel bolts for the Concours and some other bikes.
