screwy....
So I want to get red screws for the fairings and windscreen. Eventually i want to put red screws throughout the bike, pretty much swapping out any screws that are visible to be red. Reason being, everything is going to end up painted black, or powdered metallic black. I want the red to pop off the paint. I have looked around and haven't really found a place that has a full "kit" of screws in red.
Anyone know a place to go? I will be doing it in stages since I don't know how to disassemble the bike fully, I can just do the fairings and windscreens right now. Hopefully I can hook up with someone from Chicago to help get me through a "re-build" when I paint the frame and sub and add the red screws then.

Just a head's up... I ordered from bikebolts.com. Yes, they're cheap... BUT you do get what you pay for.
Things I didn't like was
1. The diagram where all the bolts go to is inaccurate in some areas. Some areas where it says there's bolts, there are really none there... etc.
2. The hex key you use to take off the bolts are a lot smaller than the original fairing screws.
3. The layer of paint or whatever it is around the screws scrape off really easily and the screws strip easily.
4. Order got messed up a little... they sent way more washers than I had screws. Each screw size is packaged into seperate mini ziploc bags and have a sticker indicating how much should be in each bag. I counted each set and some were really off. E-mailed bikebolts and told them what I was short of and what extras I have and they immediately sent in more screws of what I was missing. Did not ask for the extras back or anything. Great customer support!
Overall, it's cheap and I wouldn't mind buying it again. It still looks good anyway!
