1998 Tourer Windshield Hardware

[Shasta]

Hello all

I bought a Tourer last year and took off the windshield.  I left the mounting hardware on the bike and now want to put the shield back on for a few long rides coming up.  I can only find some on the nuts and bolts.  What do I need to put the shield back onto the bike.  The hardware is still on the bike.  I just need the bolt size, washers, material information...thanks, Matt

The upper bolts use a SS washer and a rubber washer. Bottom bolts are straight forward.

When in doubt about stock parts (or assembly), including nuts and bolts, all the on-line parts fishes are your friends.

Can be hard on the eyes (so blow it up), but everything you need is here.  You don't necessarily have to buy Honda parts, good stainless can be had.  Just write down your list of hardware sizes from the schematic.

What Jess says is the way to go.  But, you can find good quality chrome metric hardware at some Ace Hardware stores.  

I always take a OEM bolt with me to check the pitch on the different bolts, I find a nut that works on the OEM bolt and make sure it works on the ones I'm buying.

They have charts with the different sizes and pitches, but having one with me is easier.

Honda chrome quality is some of the best there is.

I agree. I wonder why ?

Great points.  Do that myself.  But most spacers anywhere on the bike only say spacer or sleeve with a part number in the fiche (so I got 3 lengths, and one worked).

I agree on Honda chrome hardware.  Sometimes I don't also agree with the price.  And some stuff down low (prone to crud and wet) and pretty hidden is better stainless than chrome anyway.
