Screws for Spyder
Anyone know of source, online or otherwise, for the black torq head screws used to hold body panels on Spyder.
-
I'd take one of them to a Home Depot, Ace Hardware, or Lowes...
See if you can match it up with something that they've goy.

Most decent hardware stores carry them, maybe Lowes, or Home Depot

When I purchased extra screws for my 2008, Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace didn't have them in a torx for that specific size, and black. Maybe now they do.

There are a number of online dealers for Spyder parts. You can probably get them from one of them. They are not a commonly available screw.

I don't understand why not get them from the dealer. I do like consistency, and was willing to spend the premium price for the screws. If I remember right, I purchased 5, and still have all (5) of them from 2009. I guess for those that use ziplock bags for their gps, consistency is not priority, and that's fine too.

When I got a custom license plate frame I wanted two more torx bolts exactly like the license plate bolts on the bike. I bought 'em on line from BRP. Yes, they were more expensive than a hardware store brand if I could get 'em but I'm kind of anal about stuff like that when it comes to the Spyder.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

I went to the dealer. If you have a relationship with them they may give you a few like they did me. Otherwise they are expensive. I prefer not to have different heads.

Although the black bolts are Stainless Steel
I tend to replace mine with Stainless Steel Button Head Allen key flange bolts
These have a washer built in so I don't need to use a black washer and a bolt
Most of them are the metric size M6 x 16 or 20mm in length
Most have been purchased via e bay and with free postage and in various quantities work out at quite a reasonable price
There are 2 types A2 and A4 Stainless Steel A4 being the marine grade
You can also find other types of Bolts, Washers & Nuts etc

Bingo....this is what I was gettin' at referring to different bolt styles. These look like a great alternative to adding washers all over. Good find!

Hey now, don't be a "hater" of the plastic bag on the GPS. I too bought some of the stock screws from an online vendor to have a few around for those DIY projects. In the grand scheme of it all, a few extra bucks on screws isn't a big deal
