1BigDog Posted October 27, 2007 #1 Posted October 27, 2007 After 1 month in the air the bike is finally on the road. And the best thing is I have several left over bolts and screws. Every time I work on the bike I seem to have some left over. So, I keep them in a container and eventually Ill have enough to put together another bike.......I must have at least 15 bolts/screws in the jar right now. Maybe next years teardown ill have even more left over.
GeorgeS Posted October 27, 2007 #3 Posted October 27, 2007 Post some close up's of them, maby we can help in figureing out where they came from
muffinman Posted October 27, 2007 #4 Posted October 27, 2007 Jeff I heard along time ago that having extra parts after a repair was a sign of a good mechanic. Jeff
Marcarl Posted October 27, 2007 #5 Posted October 27, 2007 Best be putting some of them in your trunk in case you come along the road one day and find a friend in need.
Guest KitCarson Posted October 27, 2007 #6 Posted October 27, 2007 Hey you are never supposed to admit you have parts left over...you just hide them:sign20: Kit
Rocket Posted October 27, 2007 #8 Posted October 27, 2007 Missing a few screws, are we Jeff?? More and more, as times goes on, it seems.

Maybe next years teardown ill have even more left over. After trotting down to the local ACE Hardware store for a couple of metric bolts and nuts I could see me sinking a lot of bucks into new fasteners. So..... I bought about 40# of 1stGen metric screws nuts and bolts off Ebay for cheap before others figured out what was going on and the prices started to climb. A lot of them are specialty fasteners for the 1stGens only. I must have a ga'jillion dollars worth.
