7 hours, 35 minutes driving around for parts... 1.50 in gas
6 speed nuts, 2.69 (O'malley's marget)
pack of 8 screws, nylon fastners, 3.00 (autozone)
pack of 6 bolts, black 7.50 (WestLake Ace Hardware)
6 washers, silver, and a can of black spray paint -9.50 (Home Depot)
Riding for the first time without one single, itty bitty, tiny rattle or vibration?....
Priceless.
Note:Some duct tape (black) was used as a buffer.
Backstory: The previous owners of my bike had the fairing on and off a lot, so they kept minimum bolts on it for time... then lost them. So I've been running around with about 1/3rd of the fairing bolts. I still have a LOT more to go, like the bolts that hold the battery holder, two that hold the front fender on, two that hold the bottom part of the instrument pannel... and some washers that go under the seat. What a freaking nightmare. I also put some arm into cleaning my tires and found out that they are actually silver. The previous owners of this thing were freaking crack heads, apparently.
