FAIRING SCREWS

R1100RT uses 3 mm allen head machine screws of three different lengths: what an '03 R1150RT uses, I don't know. I bet you can tell if it's a regular allen head (perfect hexagon) vs a torq (sort of a star shaped interior where lines forming star curve inward).

 

Wooster with plain/regular allen headed fairing screws (is this the 'hex head' I've heard so much about ?)

As far as fairing screws are concerned, after they have been removed once, the paint gets chipped.

 

So I used a wire brush and turned them into a brushed stainless steel finish. Much nicer now.......

I've always called them Allen heads, but more commonly in the USA they are called Hex heads I believe.

Put a plastic washer under them and they won't chip your fairings paint.

I have not tried these yet, or measured mine to see how close they are or which one matches best. Their descriptions sound pretty close. They are also from McMaster

That's particularly useful after road testing with the plastic off. Hope these work!
