[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1101527, member: 436"] I have a small stock of the screws and rivets that I bought from a discount Yamaha parts distributor years ago. They do need to be replaced periodically. The socket head screws are pretty soft and the socket gets stripped out. The rivets seem to remember the shape when the ends are spread, which makes them more difficult to push through the holes. If I could find fasteners that fit properly from a less expensive supplier I would not hesitate to buy them. FWIW, there is a large plastic rivet on the Gen 1 FJR under the nose cowling right in the center. If this rivet comes out then the cowling pieces will catch on the black plastic piece on the forks under the triple tree and cause steering issues. I suggest you get one or two spares of this one in particular. I don't know of any other place on the bike that uses that exact size. [/QUOTE]
