Fairing Bolt Kits.

[600Katana]

Is there an aftermarket (or OEM) Fairing bolt kit for the pre 600 kats or do i just have to roll up to the hardware store and see if they will let me push it through the bolt aisle.

bike bolts I think its called. Give hs2020 a pm or check his website I believe he sells them.

bikebolts.com has a kit, a full kit w/ all the hardware or just a screw kit. Pro Bolt also sells a kit.

I got mine from Bikebolts. It was the complete kit including all the rubber washers.

Keep in mind though that the BikeBolts screws have smaller heads than the original OEM. I had problems with a few of mine sucking through the mounting holes in the fairing.

i just used stainless M6 and M4 slotted bolts with wide lip rubber and steel washers. look great and cost me about $6 at home depot.

Suzuki doesn't package a pre-made complete set -- instead, they're happy to sell you exactly as many of each OEM bolt as you need. I carry quite a few of the OEM bolts here, but not "sets" because most times riders only need a couple of this bolt and one of that, etc.

Personally, I like the look of Tasty Bolts and the other aftermarket bolt kits, but I've found that they:
(A) Never fit as well as the OEM bolts (because they're not machined the same way -- OEM bolts have shoulders that match fairing thickness; aftermarket use rubber or nylon spacers [washers] to try to compensate);
(B) They tend to have problems with corrosion over time at the threads (because of the metallurgy -- Suzuki intentionally matched metals correctly so their bikes sitting in the dealerships for a year or three before selling wouldn't have any blemishes).

So, my advice:
If you need a whole set, go down to your dealer and ask them to order the bolts you need.
If you just need a handful, ask me for them when you order anything else...

Can anyone tell me what length and thread size the two top bolts on the side fairings are on a post kat (2006). Its the top two bolts that sit right between the gas tank and dash. I seem to have misplaced mine and need to hit the hardware store to find some new ones.
