Well, I finally got around to some final details on the Paso that have been bothering me for years.

One of the final ones is the mismatched fairing bolts. They are M6-1.0, button head, take a 4mm allen, and are black coated stainless steel. Varying lengths of 20 and 25mm.

Several of mine have been replaced with regular stainless. I would like to find more of the black ones.

I cannot source these bolts outside of a Ducati shop! And I don't want to pay 3x what everyone else charges for a bolt.

My favorite store, McMaster Carr, has them, but not black stainless. Neither Grainger.

Does anyone have a source for these?

I have been using ally black anodised screws ( aluminium ) with no problems , other than the sockets stripping out if you lean on them to hard with a ball end allen key ( this takes a while )( and a battery drill )
The screw on the right has a fibre washer , slightly smaller diameter than screw head so ya cant see it , and a short length of 3/16 rubber fuel line. The idea is to cut the fuel line slightly longer than the thickness of the fairing so that as you tighten the screw the rubber compresses axially and swells diametricaly ( :lol: have you ever heard such bullshit !) , and if you do it right the screw or fibre washer don't quite touch the fairing at all. Most of my fairing screws don't even have the fibre washer.

I searched hardware stores and car body parts stores. I also searched other bike dealers for the bolt and all. Ducati still uses the same bolt for the windshield. but as of june it was back ordered. You will need a good person at the parts desk who is able to think outside the box. And if they cant triumph makes it painted black too. but for more money.

The gromment (black rubber piece with washer and the nut inside) can still be ordered from Ducati. But it's on back order and upon special request. I guess my request was not special enough. That black rubber thing that expands and doesn't spin when tightening the bolt might almost be worth $2 each for it. It really is even when you but a nut and washers.
