Hi,

Why not ordering at Honda ?
Good quality, cheap and it is original,

And what about that motor looked stock? It's from a race bike and weight counts. Alloy cap screws don't last long on a street bike and wear out on a race bike, but if there's no load, they are fine.

Hi Teazer,

I was talking in general, not specific addressed to you.
Most fasteners are still delivered by Honda,

The reason I didn't try Honda was the Dream 6x115 mm screw is shown as a leg shield bolt instead of screw in the parts fiche, which shows "unavailable".

Didn't think to check the Superhawk fiche, and sure enough it shows a 6x115 screw....also "unavailable" (at least on CMSNL site)

All the aftermarket cap screw or phillips sets I have seen omit the 6x115 size.

However, after digging thru Ohio Cycle parts lists they do show it by Superhawk part #

That's what I am using now.......a 120mm cut down to 115, but it is a socket head.
Evidently 115 mm is a Honda only length, as suppliers only list 110 or 120 as normally available, and then only in socket head, not phillips head???
