Stainless cycle sells them.  No idea of the quality vs cost.

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

mcmaster carr has them. Its like 10 bucks or so for a large number of them (count varies depending on screw size) Counts range from 10-25 per package...

For M6 screws: If you only wanted to do: (just finished this-big improvement)

- Both engine covers
- Front fender and rear hugger
- Clutch cover
- Clutch and brake master mounts
- Gas cap
- Slave cylinder mount

It would require: (give or take 1 or 2)

- 20 M6X20 screws
- 2 M6X70 screws
- 4 M6X16 screws

roughly 25 screws, which would cost you around $5. At this price, I don't even care about the group buy, I'll just give you guise the screws for shipping costs plus a  [drink]. To add in the triple clamps, handlebar clamps, dash and calipers
would be roughly an additional 8 M6X20 screws and roughly 10 assorted M8 screws. I have IMA triples and a custom mounted dash so I couldn't tell you exactly what you'd need. But that's a lot of hardware for somewhere around $10. TBH I don't even need the group buy anymore, I'm buying the M8's now but I'll post here when they come in and if anyone wants a full or partial set for their classic Monster you can have them @ cost.

Sorry, didn't get around to posting up until now.
Sending you (Buck) a PM with a pic of the list.
I don't feel comfortable posting the list here.

Thanks. And I agree about not posting it here.

Why so secretive? I'm just wanting to find out how much this little kit of stainless goodness is going to be and when we can order it.

It contained a company letterhead, obviously someone had gone to the trouble of compiling it as their own branded bolt kit. Just seems dickish to put it out here so we can make our own for a fraction of the cost.

TBH it wasn't what I expected anyway. Too much stuff like headlight ring and tail Iight lens screws and not enough stuff like engine covers and master cylinders.

Nice one, lol. My guy is waiting on a container to fill, could be a few days or another few weeks. I'm figuring engine covers, master cylinders, dash, calipers, and risers will all be had in the $10 range. After I hook you guys up I might start a little eBay hustle on the side.
