Yamaha R5, DS7, RD250, RD350 Allen Head Engine Side Cover Bolt Kit

Looks to be top quality product. With frequent removal the Allen head is a must. All in one kit.

Finding these was a relief because phillips screws tend to strip at the worst times...

If your time is cheap you can get these bolts locally. It will take you several trips to get what is in this kit. Allen head stainless cap screws are a big improvement over the stock phillips. It took an impact driver to get them out in the shop. Forget about on the side of a road. This is a high quality kit well worth the price.

If you have to take the side covers off of your RD more than once, or have never taken them off for 40 years (my plight), even with an impact driver the usual result is a few bolts with buggered slots. Not any more, these bolts don't have Phillips heads, they have Allen heads, ending that difficulty with a much more sure interface between tool and bolt. Wish they were black like the originals rather than shiny, but oh well, they look sort of nice, if unoriginal.
