Where can I get replacement screws

[knnelg]

Anyone recomend a source of the dome/pan head 'torx' (T-20) screws used to fix the side panels on an R1200GS (08)?

I think they are M5 10mm long but have a 'built in' washer or flange to spread the load. Also not sure if they are stainless/chrome/titanium/gold etc.

I'm sure I could get some from my local BMW dealer, but I'm 'assuming' they would cost more than alternative sources (if there are any alternatives).

Any pointers greatly received.

Regards,

Glenn

M5's

I bought some last week in M5x25 for my TT Beak extension.

The actual size you want is M5 x 16 (looked on a parts fische)

I think they are flanged button screws. When i ordered them they came the next day. I was happy with them.

See what you think. BTW they are A2 stainless steel. £2.59 for 10 posted. Didn't think that was so bad considered.

Spot on, many thanks Big Steve.

They don't seem to have the torx version on ebay at the moment, but their main site (http://www.aruncas.com) does.

Many thanks for the lead.

Torx

The ones I got had a 3m allen head, wasn't an issue for me though.

Glad to be of help

I must learn not to shop/post after drinking alcohol. Turns out they don't have the 'torx' version. Not a big deal, I would have prefered to keep them all the same, but have settled for hex replacements.

Try the local dealer for them , you will be supprised at how cheap they can be at times, I have ordered a few bits and bobs from them and been taken aback when they say the pprice.

There was a guy on Ebay.DE that used to break new GS bikes Rudi i think.
Any how I bought an 07 gearbox off him. I emailed him back and told him to put all the bolts, clips and all the other odds and ends from a bike strip into a box and i would buy them. He charged €50 awfull handy having these as spares.
