Default batwing screws

Anyone ever source the black oxide 12-24 torx head screws besides the dealer for the SG fairings?

Actually it is a rather common screw. I went to lows and got stainless button head screws. Polished em and got em a shade longer. That helps to get em started easier.
You can use, I have in the past. Go to a hardware store get the black screws paint em flat black or gloss if you prefer.

Ace hardware has the same black screw but it is a allen head vs.a torx head. A lot cheaper as well.
