CBX tank badge
Seems I have had one of the tank badge screws disappear during my last outing on the bike. Anyone know what size and thread these screws are?

You have got it Steve !!
It differs by year of the tank.

I will, but when I took the badge off I found that the other screw was badly installed when the tank was repainted and the threads are damaged so I need to clean them up with a thread tap.daves79x wrote:Get the screws from Honda.

I think I ordered mine through ProAm on Edmonton trail after wasting time searching bolt supply shops.Mouse wrote:I will, but when I took the badge off I found that the other screw was badly installed when the tank was repainted and the threads are damaged so I need to clean them up with a thread tap.daves79x wrote:Get the screws from Honda.

But maybe it was Partzilla ..if partzilla has it there’s shipping cost to your mailbox but that would probably be less expensive than a trip into the city and back...i suggest calling pro am 1st...Mouse wrote:wyly wrote: I think I ordered mine through ProAm on Edmonton trail after wasting time searching bolt supply shops.

Re: CBX tank badge
Aren't you guys close to Calgary? I would think there would be businesses specializing in fasteners there. I got some of the required size in stainless Allen head at my local supplier. Not original, but they'll look nice forever.

Re: CBX tank badge
I am in Calgary but to drive nearly anywhere still requires an hour to two hours there and return...mouse has a 45min drive to get to the city...cost of fuel for a parts hunt far exceeds the value of those screws, so partzilla is cheaper even with shipping...if he can get them form ProAm it would be worthwhile only if he’s coming into the city for another reason ...
Screws this small are rarely used, specialized bolt and screw suppliers don’t stock them, I tried electrionic suppliers as well...I thought finally I found them at a hobby craft supplier but the thread count was wrong...I spent a lot of time and fuel/money for nothing...when I finally located them I ordered both sizes to be sure I got the right size...
In a city of 1.25 million you would think a few screws would be easy to find but because of the shift to internet sales most business find it easier to have rare sold items shipped in rather than stock them....

Re: CBX tank badge
Stuff does not have to be rare for retailers to not stock them. I run into this issue constantly with parts for my Dodge Diesel pickup and work clothes. And try finding good carpentry tools. All anyone stocks is cheap DIY'er crap or WAY over priced German stuff.
