Only the one pin in the vintage750 link though.

I also thought you could buy just the pins but as yet I haven't been able to find it.

The slotted pins came in a Honda bag with a bunch of other stuff. The clips disappeared. I was searching for just the pins but couldn't find them. My parts guy wasn't much help either. Maybe someone here can work out the part numbers. Hondaman, we need your lovely pins with the button ends.

Working on it: currently the buggers want $1.40 per screw! That makes the kits almost $5 each, pretty steep. I created them as a site-support gizmo where folks who wanted one could send $ to the forum support and I could afford to send them out 'cuz they were cheap (about $1.40 when I did them last).
:(

I can get large numbers of 1-1/4" screws, but those are 4mm too long and the acorn nut bottoms out, leaving everything wobbly and loose. Cutting off each these screws with a Dremel (or such) would take a lot of time I don't have right now, and the thread end has to then be reshaped so the nut will start on. I used to be able to just buy lots of stainless (18-8) screws in the 1-1/8" length, but one day that length just sort of vanished?
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

I doubt that number refers to the pin, the 06032 part means it's 06mm in diameter and 32mm long, that's the way Honda use the part numbers to identify bolts etc, the A normally refers to the finish, I think B means chromed, A might be zinc plated. It's more likely they used an opened bag just to put them into or the order already contained a 6 x 32mm bolt/screw and they used that bag for everything else so as to avoid losing any in transit.

Have you tried alloyboltz.com? They are much cheaper than retail and carry the button head screws. They are a small veteran owned company in Florida. They carry stainless bolt kits for bikes and bulk hardware.
