Does anyone where I can purchase the screws(bolts) that hold the tupperware together on an RS?
BRP wants too much for them. I was hoping to find a source that's a little cheaper.
Thanks

Forget 'em. Replace them with 14 mm Dzus fasteners available at Kurveygirl.com. You'll be able to peel your plastic faster than a hungry monkey peels a banana.Quote:

I got my screws from Kurveygirl.com today. Fast shipping. The screws work great. I can remove my tupperware real easy now. The advice I've gotten from this site is very helpful. Thanks all!

Would these screws hold true with the RT??
Chris
I'm not sure. Are the screws on an RT the same size and length? Hope someone else can answer. The ones I used were 14 mm dzus. They also come in 12mm.
Hope this helped.

Thanks...I'm going to order a few things from this website...kurveygirl.com
this past summer one of the screws from under the seat fell out (my bad...didn't tighten it all the way back) and when it fell out of all places it hit the ABS trigger wheel and bent 6 or 7 of those thingies ...I went into "Limp mode"...we took a hammer and chisel and straightened them back...I have put another 6,000 miles on the bike and all seems to be OK....so I really want some spares.....
10 packs out of stock but they do have 6's.
Lost one from under the tail section while working on a project and never could find it - took a screw to the local ace hardware and had them match it up - Stainless Steel - but worked well and at about a $1.00 a screw sure beat the BRP price.
I changed all my torx screws to Dzus fasteners tonight. A Dremmel tool is very handy for this job.
What a useful and easy mod. Thanks for the good tip. I used 14mm all the way around.
How many did you buy and did you use any D rings or all button heads and did you do the bottom pieces too? :bowdown:Quote:

Did I read that right on Kurvygirl or am I missing something?..$6.00 for one 14mm button head?..Sounds kind of expensive to do a whole Spyder..
It is, I spent $120 to do my RS 😏Quote:

I wouldn't mind spending that kind of money, if I didn't have enlarge the notches. With my luck, I'll screw that part of it up.Quote:

I just checked the Kurveygirl site and they have 10 packs of 14mm fasteners for $30 a pack, that's about $3 a fastener, pricey, but should be worth it in saved time. I never counted all the screws I had to remove to strip :f_spider: but I don't think it was 40. I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time :roflblack:.
I changed most of mine to Dzus fasteners like the ones on the tupperware at the oil tank. I got them from http://www.kurveygirl.com/ . There alot cheaper than the screws and it's make for easy tupperware removal and remounting, and no lost screws. That IMHO.Quote:

Still, the darn things are expensive, but convenient. :yikes:

I think these are a good idea if you remove the panels a lot..I had already bought me a 1/4 " air ratchet that fits great in smaller places from Harbor Freight for app $15.00..That worked out good when I recently installed my handbrake and highway pegs!
