Post by: dlighthill on July 29, 2008, 10:53:50 AM

would anyone know where i could get a couple screws for the float chambers ? i had one strip the head when i was cleaning my carbs over the weekend.
i know you can order them from bikebandit, but i didn't want to wait on shipping.

Lowes ... HD, ace ... older GS has 5mm dia 12mm length, newer GS is 4mm dia 10 mm length, get allen head. Maybe stainless if its there. Take old ones and match up if needed. Aces has good bolts I have checked.
I can ship to you, but it be the wrong side of this week before it gets to you ... And it will cost $1.17 to ship it and cost you 30 cents for a 4 pack to buy.
Cool.

Get Stainless, chrome on cheap ass sheite tends to peel off when you crank down with a wrench. Chrome is a really really hard to do process, I dont know why people chrome sheite.
