indianagenius Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I have a pair of these installed on my '99 VFR. My son has his own 5th Gen and was recently coveting my flush fit version. Seems like these were a Goldwing fastener. The flush fit version looks great but are definitely useless for a bungee strap application. Anyway, does anyone know the Honda part # for the flush fit version that replaces the Frankenstein bolts? Thanks, IG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellindustries Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 You don't strictly need an OEM part. Any caphead or similar with either a spacer or collar of the right size will do just fine. Did the same on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artpongs Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 @indianagenius @hellindustries can you guys show me pictures of your installs? Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellindustries Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Can't take the bolt out, no torx head at home. But will snap a picture tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianagenius Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Photo here. I believe this is a Goldwing fastener. It fits like a glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loftust Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That's probably called a 'M6/M8 (can't tell from here) pan head with collar' which are widely available fronm fastening suppliers. If you desperately want an OEM bolt, you could try looking through the IPCs for the Goldwing and getting the part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted February 20, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted February 20, 2017 It's an M6 threaded bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted February 21, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted February 21, 2017 I found the 86-87 vfr seat cowl bolt look great. Large pan head with standard slot for flat head screw driver or a coin to remove. Check a parts fiche for it. Much cheaper than the Frankenstein bolts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, it's a pan head bolt with an M6 thread and collar - that's what they're called. Honda's specific nomenclature is 'screw, pan 6 x ...' where '...' is the length of the thread in mm. You don't need to pay crazy Honda prices for something that'll cost you a couple of dollars at most in a hardware store though. eBay is similarly plentiful with bolts, just measure the length of the threaded section, and then the length of the collar, and bingo, that's all the info you need to arm yourself with to buy the right one. Check out this eBay ID: 131633499433. Whilst they're in the UK, they ship internationally and can undoubtedly provide what you need - I've used them a number of times for my own bike too.

Just go to a hardware store, spend very little on a couple of bolts. The thread pitch is probably 1.25, it's an M6 or M8 cap head with a collar. If you can't find one with a collar, you can buy them separately. You may or may need to shorten the bolt if it's not exact. Just take the frankenbolt with you to compare.

otmaximus Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 One of my bikes has the other Allen bolts from the fairing as replacements for the frankenbolts. Paul in SoCal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianagenius Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 This looks to be it and you will not find it at your local hardware store in the States. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/honda/HP-90104-MN4-000.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellindustries Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Cheaper on Fowlers UK. See here. Does not include VAT or shipping, the latter of which can be a bit costly. About the same price on David Silver Spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
