Have you ever lost one of those push pins? Have you seen what the dealers/Partzilla/Wingstuff want for one (1) OEM pin?
Here is the solution.
There is a company called Bolt Manufacturing and they make a push pin that is within .1mm of the same dimension as the Honda OEM.
Here is a spec diagram from the company who makes them for Honda, in Japan:Here is the specs for the ones from Bolt: As you can see, all of the demensions on the Bolt are .1mm larger.You can get the push pins directly from Bolt for $5.99 plus a flat $5.00 shipping for a pack of ten (10). Or, you can do what I did and get them from Amazon.com for $7.95 and FREE PRIME 2-DAY shipping (if you're a prime member). If you're not a Prime member, there is another seller selling them for $7.14 with free shipping but I don't know how long it takes to get them.I got mine delivered the other day and they fit perfect. So, if you seed some...get them HERE!

Thanks for sharing the info. I've got a bag of them, but they do get expensive buying them onesy-twosy style.

Amazing - I'll put this here as my own reminder about them. Lucky that I've not lost any, but now having written that, you can bet your a$$ that I'll do so the next time I take it apart!
Thanks, Bart!

I bought a bag years ago - can't remember where. This satisfied Murphy, so they remain unopened hanging on their peg.

Thanks Bartman-Just ordered 3 sets from Amazon. I have a lot of customers with 1 or 2 missing that jumped into the black hole.

Thanks Bartman-Just ordered 3 sets from Amazon. I have a lot of customers with 1 or 2 missing that jumped into the black hole. I know that feeling. Since I bought my first pack, I've put more in other customers and friends bikes than I used in mine. I've already ordered my second and third pack as well.
