please aware me on screws

[cjbottaro]

I'm looking to replace the plastic windscreen screws, so I took one to Home Depot and screwed it into their thread finder thing. It says "#10-32 fine".

Now when I'm looking online for screws, all I see is "#10-32"... I don't see anything about "fine". Will I be fine getting the non-fine screws? Pun intended.

Thanks for the help.

Shit, I think this was supposed to go in the "Garage" section.

Why don't ya just get some windscreen screws...they're available in several colors too. Pro-Bolt Aluminum Windscreen Screw Kit - BikeBandit.com

I would just hold one of the plastic screws up to the screws you are looking at and compare the threads to see if they are the proper type. That being said, many advise against replacing the plastic windscreen screws with metal ones because the plastic screws are used for safety to allow the windscreen to snap off should you collide with it in a wreck rather than cutting into you.

If they are off the standard bike they will be metric threads not imperial.
I think you will find that you are after a M5 x 0.8 thread

They are 10-32 and that is 3/16" by 32 threads per inch. My guess is that an American company makes the inserts and does not make a metric version.

The Japanese do not use imperial threads on their bikes.
Just check the link that was posted above by NJFZ1, they are M5 threads.

just let it be something as simple as the windscreen and not something like the passenger grab rails.....

Only imperial/SAE thread to make it on ones bike is if you/previous owner installs it.....

I have something like that too. I had to replace my stock ones the first or second time I took the windscreen off.

Ok then, they are so close to 10-32 that I elected to call it good.
