When I bought my GS (a very last 1200 with TFT and LED headlight), I put a headlight guard on, and have since lost the original screws (I moved house!), the ones marked "A" below.

Now I am moving to a different headlight guard, I want to re-install the OEM screws. There's no part # shown, so I wondered if any of you chaps would have a size? They look like M2.5 self tappers, about 15mm long... Just asking in case anyone could measure one, or has done the same in the past?
Cheers
 
Crikey! They're hard to find! Ordered some this morning. Thanks for your help GSian :thumby:

Did you manage to find some screws? I have the same problem with my 1250 headlight as the previous owner put an awful light guard on and binned the screws.

Sadly I could not reasonably source the identical ones. The only ones I could find were in germany and only sold in large quantities.
So I bought M3 3mm x 14mm stainless self tapping and used them
Been perfect (y)

Thanks for getting back to me. I guess I’ll go down the same route. Unless I buy a big bag from Germany and become the sole uk distributor 🤣

Hi, it’s long time after this thread started but it popped up as I researched for my bike - I have a similar issue with my 1250 - I have the 40th anniversary model and it has a fixed headlight guard but i want to change it out for a Wunderlich flip guard - the current screws are long ones with spacers that fit into the headlight casing and secure the guard. I know the original question was regarding a 1200 - just wanted to make sure those screws fitted the 1250 headlight as well? Cheers 👍
