source for hardware?

Been Around the Block
Does anybody have a recommendation for a source for hardware? I need the bolts for the sides of the case on my cb175 and I want allens rather than philips. Locally, the Ace hardware only has 3-5 bolts at a time and the Fastenal only has boxes of 50. I need more than onsies of most but less than a box.
 
Bolt depot, That's an easy one. Cheap prices per unit, cheaper by the case. If you know the pitch and length. I think yours is like m6x1.0 on those side covers.

Roger that.

Bolts Depot is good for mixed quantity buys. McMaster is good but expensive. Also check out Wise Guy Bolts on eBay. He kits fasteners for particular machines. Good prices and you're not typing in quantities for sizes.
 
And if you can score the Honda Parts Manual for your bike, it likely lists the dimensions/type of each and every bolt. My CB550F Parts Manual did and I made up a complete list of every bolt so I could easily buy the lot.
 
Tim, thats awesome. I had an old shop manual, but nothing that in depth. I had a Mic and a notebook. haha. Took me a while, but it was worth it. the whole bike has allen hardware now.
