Some of the screws were damaged getting them out the last time and I fitted these to all 12. I have fitted washers under the heads this time to save graunching the carriers and need to fit the dome headed bolts on the LS to clear the speedo drive.
I will get some new disc screws I think and do all 12. What you need is a good fitting Allen socket, not key, and grease the bolts upon insertion and torque them correctly. Most people overtighten them and that leads to destroying the hex with an ill fitting key when taking them out. If I took the washers out from under them the hex screws clear the speedo drive okay.
I use titanium ones on the other bike but won't invest that on this one but a new standard set for the front maybe, although they are fine as is.
