    Anyone know of a good source for the "quick screws" quick release fairing fasteners? Both the dealer and ronayers.com want nearly $9 for one screw and one nylon washer "retainer".
    Seems aweful steep for a bolt and washer...
    I've heard some discussion related to Dzus fasteners, but don't know how they actually compare.
    Any info will be greatly appreciated.

    post 2006, but if you are still looking???

    This is a copy of my post earlier today. A couple of riders showed an interest in dzus fasteners. I ordered some from KurveyGirl.com and they were perfect:
    Took a picture of the originals, but it is snowy and cold and have not photoed the new ones as they are installed.
    I'll cut to the chase verbally: they are exact fits length and diameter as the originals. :thumbsup: The new clips are exact fits, as well.:thumbsup: The head is black, it has a straight coinslot in it, and the D-ring. The D-ring is tight in the head of the bolt, so it doesn't flippy-flop. You can push them down to lay flat if you want.:thumbsup:

    They hold real tight. I'm happy with the set of 10 (both sides of my 4th gen) and will probably get a set of 4 for replacements. Don't want to go back to the originals and mix and match. Then again, now that I know how to lose them, I can avoid riding with them unfastened. Thinking of a solution to the little nylon washers that are the only security between you and dropping a 10dollar bill on the road.

    The red panel with black fasteners looks pretty cool.:thumbsup:
    Go to KurveyGirl and get some if you want a good product. Shipping was 3.50, which I think is "cost", not some fake fee to jack up profits. Also bought some angled valve stems while I was ordering. Am I the only one who can't get a straight fill valve between the hub, the disk, the fork, the chain and the spokes on my tire?
