I am Screwless

[Scaramouche]

Happy New Year to all.

Working on Bike over Holiday. Pulled off all of the tupperware. Placed all fastners in a zip lock bag....the wife put the bag in the trash.

I need all of the torx screws that hold on the fairings......is there a kit? I saw some alibab kit but I have never ordered from alibaba.....

Stuck on the Island and there is no one that sells the right screws. R1200RT 2013.

Hi and welcome to the forum

What a nightmare you have here!

You could try ebay as sometimes you get a breaker selling all the nuts and bolts from splitting a bike

Otherwise I suspect it will be an expensive order to bmw

Pulled off all of the tupperware. I need all of the torx screws that hold on the fairings.

Is this just the main front upper (x2) and lower (x2) fairing panels.
I've currently got those panels off my bike and will look at what screws are required.


#2 M5 x 25mm (4 off).


#4 M5 x 16mm (2 off). Mine are M5 x 12mm.


#5 M5 x 16mm (Left 8 off & Right 12 off)
#9 is described as a lock, part # 51 71 1 916 197 from BMW.


#9 M5 x 16 (x8 for L & R)

In the UK, I would use Stig Fasteners, https://a2stainless.co.uk/ and replace them with Flanged Socket Button Screws which have a hex socket rather than torx.

M5 x 25mm (x4), https://a2stainless.co.uk/product/m5-x- ... -7380f-a2/

M5 x 16mm (x30), https://a2stainless.co.uk/product/m5-x- ... -7380f-a2/

M5 x 12mm (x2), https://a2stainless.co.uk/product/m5-x- ... -7380f-a2/
(These would replace 2 of the M5 x 16mm for what I call the glove box lid).

After all that, Stig Fasteners may not ship outside of the UK but may be worth contacting Mark Pinkney, sales@a2stainless.com

I need all of the torx screws that hold on the fairings, is there a kit.

How about this from Hornig.

M5 x 16 (30 off), https://www.motorcycleparts-hornig.com/ ... crews.html

That would do the job, just need M5 x 25 (4 off) even if you had to get these from BMW, part # 63 13 7 655 661.

Hornig ship to Puerto Rico, but expensive.

Otherwise I suspect it will be an expensive order to BMW.

Or Motorworks at £1.22 each, https://www.motorworks.co.uk/trim-panel ... 212-3.html

Motorworks do an M5 x 25mm button head screw, https://www.motorworks.co.uk/m5x25-sock ... 046-1.html
which would work with some washers, https://www.motorworks.co.uk/m5-washer-ssa32098-1.html

Looks like Motorworks do ship worldwide.

"We send your orders not only to the UK, but also worldwide on a daily basis! "

Stuck on the Island and there is no one that sells the right screws.

I wonder if Max BMW will ship to Puerto Rico, https://www.maxbmw.com/parts-department

"Free ground shipping to continental US addresses only," but might be worth asking the question.

Hi and welcome

I see from your signature that you have the 2103 model. They are very hard to get spares for yet

Good luck with your sourcing. Sounds like a challenge being where you are.

[David.]

Found a thread on BMWSportTouring which suggested Albany County Fasteners. I think this is what they are referring to, https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/M ... 99-008.htm pan head and would need washers.

Another suggestion was a seller called Didibandit on German eBay who usually stocks full stainless steel fastener kits for BMW's.

[David.]

Just an observation but don't forget that the OEM (M5 x 16mm) fairing screws have a tapered point to help start the thread.



Shouldn't be a problem without but more care will probably be required.

[David.]

Now why didn't I think of this earlier, https://www.bmwmotorcyclespr.com/

The one reason i only let the wife into the garage is when the front bulbs need changing.

Amazon UK certainly sell fairing bolts kits so I'm assuming they'll also be available in other countries.

Amazon UK certainly sell fairing bolts kits.

Not sufficient M5 x 16 screws, only 20 and made of aluminium.
