Default Bolts/Screws for '99 GSX-R 750 body

There are several of those rounded off, torx-style bolts missing on my bike's body. Around 6. Any idea where i could get more of these? I checked the shops here in town & they didn't have any

I've never seen torx bits used on the body before, they are useually internal allen bolts. Check out http://www.starcycle.com/street.html they my have bolt kits, they are specail bolts.

I can't believe a dealer wouldn't have those or offer to order any for you. If you do get an opportunity to order some, be prepared to spend about $6 each. Those stainless steel buggers are expensive!

Now if you want to do a little customizing these guys can supply you with just about any fastener.
