Other than Honda OEM ($3.++), does anyone have a source for these cheaper? I need the 1/4" size that fits the fork pinch bolts and handlebar bolts. Thanks in advance.

Try Ace Hardware or similar shop, that's where I got mine.

Same here. Just picked up some today to cover allen head bolt holes in some Kuryakyn pegs. They had a bunch of 1/4" @ 99 cents each.

Geez, Sandy.  You didn't like my approach?   Instead of fussing over the caps, I just bought chrome bolts.  I think they look fine with no caps now.   I kept the caps, but like the industrial look better.   (Chrome industrial).

I fill the sockets of my Allen screws with black Sugru. Looks just like the valve cover screws and does away with one inevitable traces of rust from cracked chrome plating.

Oh yeah.  Rust.  I kinda forgot about that, living in Arizona and all.  Seriously, stuff doesn't rust here.  If it does, it's verrrryyyy slooowwwllly.
