seriously, who does this?
someone stole the screws off my mirrors.  I parked my bike at a friends and I come back to notice my screws are missing.  I have knockoff rizoma reverse mirrors and they had unscrewed all the bolts, leaving the mirrors dangling.

I first assumed they just vibrated off except I recall hanging my helmet off the mirror when i had first arrived at my friends.  this could not have happened if the screws were already loose.

anyone know where i can find replacement bolts that might work?   or anyone else have the ebay rizoma knock-offs and know the size of the bolt?

thanks guys

Carry an allen key and look for a bike with the same mirrors.

Seriously though, that sucks.  Very wierd, but sucks more than wierd.

there was another ducati parked on the same street....

i'm gonna give the fellow duc rider the benefit of the doubt and say it was some bored kids, and not another duc rider that was missing some screws himself

Not a bike but I had someone steal the license plate lights out of my GTI. Just make the beast with two backsing incomprehensible.

maybe those screws are hard to find.

maybe you'll find yourself reach the point  of desperation necessary to go screw shopping in your neighborhood.

Screws?  Assholes!

Now I understand why someone told me he won't put the easy out screws (whatever its called) for his fairings.

Im constantly suprised by the bolts I find at my local (small) hardware store.

That's just bizarre!  Could they have been trying to steal the whole mirror but not able to get them full unscrewed?  If that's the case, they may have tossed the screws nearby.  Fortunately I have http://www.tacomascrew.com nearby for odd fastener needs, hope you were able to find some!
