Hello,I have found some good quality stainless fasteners on the "Bike Devils" site, made by Pro-Bolt. They are not direct replacements however, as they require the original receptor plates to be replaced by riveted on ones. Judicious filing of the mounting plates at the rear, and the glassfibre of the radiator cowl is needed to maintain centrality. Also, they are smaller diameter and could do with some "top hat" type spacers being turned up from nylon or stainless. I think this is worth the effort however, as they are a big improvement on the by now, aged plated originals. They are available as D ring type, or allen headed. Now for the bad news! Total cost for 4 off 19mm fasteners, 6 off 14mm fasteners and 10 riveted type receptor plates is about £68 including VAT & postage.
