How do I prevent the bolts from rusting?
Regularly clean the bolts and apply a thin layer of anti-corrosion spray or lubricant to prevent rust.
Can I use these bolts for other parts of my bike?
While these bolts are primarily for fairings, you can use them for other bodywork applications if the size and length are appropriate.

Troubleshooting
Bolt doesn't fit
Double-check the bolt size (M5 or M6) against your motorcycle's specifications. If the length is incorrect, use a bolt from the kit that matches the correct length.
Bolt is loose after installation
Ensure the bolt is tightened to the correct torque specification. If the bolt continues to loosen, consider using thread-locking compound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: When installing the bolts, ensure you use the correct size and length for each application. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the fairing. Tighten the bolts until snug, and then add a small amount of torque. Use a torque wrench if possible.
Care: Regularly inspect the bolts for signs of corrosion or loosening. Clean the bolts with a mild detergent and a soft cloth when cleaning your motorcycle. If you notice any rust or damage, replace the affected bolts immediately.
