MR_W Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Got a double bubble screen coming and I've just taken out one of the existing screen bolts to check sizing.Do I actually need to replace these? I ask because my existing ones look fine, right colour, and are metal. If I should be replacing them, am I right in thinking the Thundercat takes a M5 bolt with 12mm head? Quote
Richtea Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 They should be okay I just replaced my screen and used the original bolts. Quote
MR_W Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 Was going to say, if they were plastic, I'd stick some metal ones in.Fortunately, I seem to have inherited a bike with black, metal screen bolts. Just what I need.Screen should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday.... Quote
Tango Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 You can often get sets in Halfords if any of yours were b*ggered.....but it sounds like you're ok..... Quote
MR_W Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 Cheers, nice to know it's not an essential to replace.Next up the new foot-pegs once I have this sorted! Quote

First time I have really carried out changes to a bike, apart from having a top box fitted to my MZ RT125... and a garage did that for me.Once I've done these bits, I plan to source some HK fairings for about £300 to send down the road when I do trackdays....
