where do I get the side panel bolts?

joyinc · May 25th, 2012, 01:56 PM

I took off all my bolts from the side panels under the seat last winter, and set them aside to replace them because they are somewhat stripped (I didnt think they were going to come off!)

anywho, I've been everywhere like home depot, home hardware, and no one can duplicate these buggers.

maybe this is a dumb question, can you just order bolts from the dealership?

I needed a couple longer ones when I changed my windscreen and bought some at Lowe's. Not exact mind you but nearly the same and you wouldn't notice unless I told you.

yeah home hardware had longer ones, but considering where they are, i dont want them to stick out, plus they were to use with a wrench, not a screwdriver, and since they're set in, i dont think it'd work...

wish i could just find the ones I set aside, I'm tempted to just put the stripped ones back in... i havent been able to ride yet!

Not 100% sure what bolt you are talking about but in any case this site probably has it.

And in multiple colors.

You should be able to if it's a Kawasaki dealer. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some extras lying around.
