considering it doesn't even mention the type of thread size, I would say NO.

Cool

For metric fasteners typically the the thread size is the first # listed such as: 4mm x 6mm meaning 4mm thread by 6mm length. Metric threads are typically fine thread unless otherwise specified. I have worked with JIS Standards long enough to realize, however that just because a fastener seems to "match" what is called out in the Service Manual, I will NEVER replace a screw with anything but a Genuine Honda Part. The OEM's may have different tolerences, different metallurgy, even slightly different pitches than what I refer to as "Hardware Store Hardware". They're crazy tricky and smart, those Jap Engineers, and call me paranoid, but I will not risk cross threading a tapped hole in my frame to save a few cents on a screw...

Also if you look at the picture, all the fasteners are Socket Head Cap Screws, and if you glance at the side of your bike, you'll see that most of the screws are Button Head Cap Screws.

Yeah I already bought them unfortunately. Checked them, and they will not work because I don't even need them. What I was looking for was fairing fasteners. Hopefully the seller (from ebay) will refund the money. Thanks for your help anyways!

So would you say that the only ones worth using are the Honda ones? Is there a place where I can buy the Honda bolts? A full set, colored?

You can get the fairing bolts off ebay, google, and prob a powersport place can order them for you. They arn't the cheapest though. Check google and ebay first, if you dont find something for a decent price, I say call up a powersport place and ask them. They will find and order you the correct bolts. Just make sure when you look for bolts, you make sure they come with the nuts too or else you'll be stuck with more random screws haha!
