[orange winger2]

Took apart an 03 to fix left pocket stringed lid. Now I can't rember where in the heck I put the bolts. looking to get new or better yet used ones. Got some you can live with out? Live in northern ca. Let me know what you want for them. Larry

Can you narrow it down a little as to which bolts you need exactly? Are you talking about the Shelter or the Meter Panel?

Here are the parts drawings...

You probably should pay close attention to the parts drawings to identify exactly which bolt you are missing. I know the ones on the top shelter are different as you move from top to bottom. I suspect it might just be easier for you to identify the ones that are missing and just order from Honda. In addition to Parzilla, just about any Honda dealer can get them. the advantage to Partzilla and other larger online suppliers is they are set up to get this stuff from Honda and ship it to you. I doubt that most have these screws in stock.

Just a thought that someone put me onto years ago, get an egg carton and as you undue the top shelter screws put the first screw into one end of the carton and the next screw into the next slot and so forth till you have all the screws removed. Another solution is to number the screws and the holes to match them up. Use a Sharpie or similar permanent ink pen to do this. I use the egg carton because when all screws are removed I can close the carton, put it away and everything remains in place. Just an idea that works for me.

Thanks that makes it a lot easier. Top shelter, #s 23(4)--24(4)--36(2). I our honda local shop if ordered I could get them in 3 weeks?

I think I would try partzilla, HDL, Wingstuff, Cyclemax Partzilla or even Bike Bandit to see if they can beat the turn around time. I don't see why such standard parts would be three weeks out, Most of the time Honda can get a shipment of parts out of the warehouse to the dealer the day after the order is placed.

You'll have them a lot faster than 3 weeks if you order them from one of the big online parts houses like Partzilla or Bike Bandit. If you need them really fast, I'd suggested calling them to check inventory and to place an expedited order. They should be in-stock with either of the two retailers mentioned above.

I don't usually use our so called honda dealer here just for that reason. I'll try to beg the "BOSS" to let me use her trike to go to Sacramento for parts, other dwise I'll be tacking the car.

Orange winger2, I think I would call before I went to a dealership to insure they have the 6 screws you want in stock. And make sure the parts guy understands on the phone that if you get there and they don't have them, you will be really upset. I really don't trust them to have much in stock. There is no advantage to a dealer stocking most parts other than those used for regular maintenance. Parts that are still used on new bikes are easier just ordered from the warehouse and Honda normally has 2-3 day shipping. If they don't have them in stock they may be able to order and call you when the parts come in.
