That is interesting...I wonder if they sell cheaper at an online bearing shop.

There is also a dedicated ss fastener place in BC; perhaps you have something like that where you live.

more work completed.
I painted handlebars with rustoleum 'soft iron'. Bought new grips. Darkened the letters 'scott' with permanant marker.

Boought new throttle/cable mechanism (gold) also new foldable levers that bend backwards if bike falls over.
Also new transformer 'street fighter' enduro fairing/headlight.

pics a little blurry. I cant capture good pics unless its outside.

The only way is to not ride it. I recommend that you ride it.

Does anyone know where to order the red baja stickers that go on the tank fairings?

I've ordered sticker kits from baja before, but they didnt come with the red baja stickers. And they couldn't give me an explaantion as to why they didn't come with the sticker kit.
