I lost one of the screws holding my rear turn signal one. The pan head Phillips that is about a 1/4"long. Does anybody know where I can find these?

My local Ace Hardware store has a very impressive selection of SAE and metric nuts and bolts and such do you have those stores near you?
I'm no gynecologist but hey I'll take a look!

there's two types of turn signals. Single screw or two-screws lens cap. Which you have?

if it's the single screw on the bottom type, just use some electrical tape on the bottom to hold the lens to the chrome shell, temporarily or semi-permanently. It ain't going anywhere as long as you clean of the surfaces well and the plastic barb at 12 o' clock on the chrome shell is still there. Actually, I put some tape there anyways just in case the tongue on the lens breaks or the screw falls off. The tape isn't visible placed on the bottom. Probably works on two screw lens but visible.

P.S. some people tape a spare screw inside the chrome shell.

I didn't know there were 2 types. Mine isn't that kind. Mine mounts between the chrome and rubber pieces.

are we instead talking about Screw A or Screw B, below?

Screw A is only on turnsignals with a two-screw lens cap, older version. It's a special extra wide pan head with a shoulder on the threads (second pic.)

You can use a front rotor screw until you get one in from Honda direct, pro caliber or similar. If you have no spare screws just take the other one out and go to the hardware store and for 12 cents you should be able to buy a suitable temporary. There's other things you can think of to order to make shipping worthwhile. Rear end Orings, shock bushings, wheel dampeners, air cleaner, spare kickstand spring and spring bolt. I'm sure you need something
