So, after I removed the stock Mickey Mouse mirrors and installed my super sweet CRG Mirrors, I had those empty holes to fill.

I looked everywhere for a black socket head or hex head bolt and never found one in the proper size. I went to Lowes and got some stainless hex bolts that looked okay.

Cheap and the boys here referred me to the guy on Ebay that sells the "Fat Bolts" in black for a very nice price of only $5.00, considering Pro-Bolts makes a set for $20.

However, since I am all about the details.......I came up with this:



The bolts are from NewSpeed3, but he sells them for the Triumph Bonneville, for the Air Injection Removal Kit. At $25.00, they are a bit pricy, but hey.......I knew they would look sweet with the Union Jack Flag etched into the top of the bolt.

Unfortunately, they are the wrong size......12 X 1.25, so I took them to the local machine shop and had them re-thread them down to 10 X 1.25. The original length works just fine.

I sent an email to the boys at NewSpeed3 with this pic also.....I am sure if he gets enough interest, he can get these made up for you.
