Chrome windshield bolts

[penningpd]

Hey all - first time posting! I need new chrome bolts for my windshield and can’t seem to find any that match locally. Is there a place to buy them online?

thanks in advance,

My local Ace Hardware and Farm & Fleet store have a pretty good assortment of chrome bolts. They may not have quite as large of head as the factory bolts but should still work and be much cheaper than Yamaha parts sites.

Stainless steel bolts will polish up as shiny as chrome and last a lot longer.

Stainless steel bolts work instead of chrome, buff the head a little.

Great tip!

Which bolts? The main ones to secure windshield bracket are an atypical thread pitch that a lot of hardware stores don't have
10mmx1.25 (I think) x 30mm. Usually I see 10mm x 1.5 pitch. May have to order?

Mine are 1/4 X 20. It’s an aftermarket windshield. Looked at ACE and the heads were not big enough. May have to go stainless like roadiemort says and polish them up a bit.

So is what I need to add the brackets. I believe (lower bolts) is already on the bike? Unless it's not long enough?

I scored a pair of brackets, but no hardware.

That's really weird. I typed number 21 and number 22 as part of my post, referring to the diagram attached above. Those notations seem to have been removed.
