But at what price?
Factory parts are great and all,,,,BUT
Paying $4 each for a screw that they have on the shelf sucks,
Paying $8 each when they have to order them,
Well I'm sure you can understand how I feel about that.
PS the last town I lived in,in western MA. the Kaw dealer was nicknamed "THE THIEF" .

I haven't been able to find the original screws for the sidecovers, either. The existing ones have damaged heads, so he looked them up and sure enough they were in stock in NZ only overnight delivery.
Sometimes, it pays to look right under your nose.
