17 sounds good to me, is the official name for the belt guards "cowling"? Lernt sumpin' today! The rear fender of my STT takes 5 of them suckas, IIRC the R and S takes 3 there? I'll count Bubbles bolts next time she's over on the Scg, and I think the left scoop takes another 3. Sometimes I find shouldered bolts in there sometimes not. I can't find a rhyme or reason to why?
Following 'Cruzas lead... I checked out Grainger. They have them for $1.91 each and no price break for even 200 of them
