Valve cover bolts for 2012 GSA - which and where to pickup?

[AdventureGuy]

Hey all

I've just bought a 2012 GS Adventure to add to the stable, having fallen in love with the older GS whilst offroading around Utah and Arizona a couple of years back.

I know the rocker cover bolts on the bike have bent in a minor drop that's nudged the valve/rocker cover off-centre (scratched the heads but no holes in the covers), so I want to replace them and also keep some spares for touring. I'm struggling to find replacement bolts thought - Can anyone recommend a UK seller for servicing and engine parts like these?

I tried my local dealer in London buy they don't want to know as i didn't buy the bike from them (talk about a big FU as a new customer?!). Are they all like that?

Also, if anyone knows the part number or whether those bolts also fit other models, I'd welcome the heads up

Get some Machine Art head/cover protectors. They spread the load of a crash rather than risking the M6 lugs on the cylinder head.
Also get a new set of rubber seals. Mine leaked after I did the valve clearances.
