    I did a oil and filter change today (think hulk hogan tightened the oil filter up on the last oil change ) I need to replace the 4 bolts with Allen key head that hold the lower cowling on do I get these from honda I did look on probolt but couldn't see them I would prefer a different head as I don't like Allen key headed bolts .

    I also need to replace the 4 that hold the plastic petrol tank cover on .


    Thanks Jay

    Pro bolt stuff are good. I replaced the engine case bolts. There are a lot lighter amd stronger. I haven'tseen any fairing bolts other than the allen key bolts though. It might be worth sending them an email or have a look on ebay.

    I started putting a bit of cooper grease on the fairing, mudguard bolts. I've had a few bolts seized and hate drilling them out. I got honda to drill the last one that was seized :D
