Just curious if anyone knows how to find compatible bolts vs the surprisingly expensive OEM parts?
For example, the windscreen bolts cost 4 x €2,50 and the corresponding plastic washer 4 x €3,74 each and then €7 shipping!
I imagine Yamaha Part # 90111-05017 can be replaced by a €0,40 panhead M5 x 20mm bolt and the corresponding washer by an equivalent plastic washer for €0,01.
Total Price: €1,64 vs. €31,96
Thing is, I don't know for sure what the exact parts are, and the parts finder obviously doesn't tell you exact specifications. Is it as simple as measuring these bolts with calipers?
(Of course, I am also talking about non-critical components here)
