If you need bolts (obviously it's a bit too late for that ) Then check out this site.

Oh no no no...all the bolts are intact..and screwed into place. The fairing had a small crack in it and I guess it just cought the wrong side of a wind gust or something.

I looked at the kit and the price looks much better than the Honda OEM price. Which for all bolts is about $150. F that.

But I noticed these bolt's don't have the smooth part at the top of the bolt along the threads. I have heard that using regular Allan bolts will cause the plastics to break becuase it needs to be specific.

With these designs I noticed it was threaded all the way. But some had sleeves. Are these sleeves going to do what the smooth threads do on the OEM parts? Or will they actually be better? Or will I have threads contacting plastic.

Because $35($45 for colored) seems great to me for 108 peices.

Plus is there a great place to find plastics besides Ebay and Craigs list. My top right front cowl is busted and needs to be replaced. $470 from Honda. Which I could get a full Repsol kit for a couple hundred more. But I'm not wanting the Repsol kit.

PS. The Bike is a 1996 CBR600 F3

everytime i look at ebay i cringe at the thought of having to pay 200 bucks for a fairing. then i see the honda oem price and i realize paying the 200 is much better. i would NOT advise buying the fiberglass 1 peice front fairings from ebay to anyone. i got one for my bike when i was repainting and it was the biggest pain to mount it on the bike. in the end i had to stretch it into place and there are small cracks at the stress points. buy stock pieces from other used bikes!
