Hi all!
I've had my 07 FJR1300AE for a few years now and, aside from basic maintenance, I've enjoyed just being able to ride it. However, it developed a coolant leak some time ago. So, earlier this year, I took it apart to find the leak and found that the thermostat housing o-ring was leaking. After taking it apart and seeing how close I was to getting the headlight housing out, I decided to also do what I had been thinking of doing for a while--having the headlight retrofitted with proper projector headlamps. So, I took it apart enough to get the headlight housing and the thermostat apart, then put in back in storage while the retrofit was being done.
Fast forward a month or two, the headlight is finished and looking great! But, when I went to put it back together, all of the fasteners and hardware that I had taken apart is gone without a trace.
Screws, bolts, nuts, plastic fasteners...all gone. I think my roommate threw them away. Anyway, shortly after that, I tore my right Achilles tendon and have been unable to do much for months, until now! I really want to get the bike reassembled and back on the road, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed on where to even start sourcing all the fasteners I need to put this thing back together. I know I get get an assortment of JIS bolts and nuts, but its the plastic fasteners and all the little specialty items that I'll need, plus the fact that it has been over 6 months since I took it apart and I don't really remember what fastener to use where. I'm pretty sure I still have all the brackets and body parts, its just the fasteners I'm missing. Hopefully someone can give me a reasonable place to start or a good resource on how to get going on this. I've included a few pics to show the bike's current condition...maybe that will help.
Thanks in advance!
