Hi y'all, I'm looking for hardware to mount my 89 optional flyscreen to my bike, when I got it the bucket bolts had the old bolts broken off in them from overtightening. I'm looking for the bolts that hold the headlight in the brackets, which are threaded to accept the bolt that holds the flyscreen/fairing onto the headlight. The part is discontinued, so I can't just order one from bikebandit et al. Thanks.

is this what you are looking for:



my bike is 2002, and i took them out cuz when i bought it, it had these but no flyscreen
so i changed them to a flush bolts

let me know so i could try to find them

That looks different than what I've got. On this schematic: http://www.bikebandit.com/1989-suzuki-gs500ek/o/m6049#sch244356  it's part numbers 7 and 8. You can see there that the bolt that holds the cowling on actually screws into the bolt holding the headlight in the bracket, I'm not sure if that's how the later models do it.

i'm not really sure if its the correct one

once i get home, i'll look for them and take lots of picture so i could send them to you

Awesome, thanks a lot. I know they're not the same type, but hopefully those will work for my purposes.
