Default Where can I get chrome screws, bolts, etc?

Peace everyone,
Anyone know of a good source for chromed screws, bolts, nuts, etc. to replace stock units? I just ordered chromed covers for the clutch and front brake reservoirs for my '91 ZX11 and they came with no screws! I'm certainly not going to put these nice chrome covers on with the crappy black screws that were stock. I even emailed the supplier of the covers, but got no response. It would be nice to have a place I know I can replace my stock hardware , whatever the finish, with chrome, or colored, but not have to go through hell figuring out what thread size and length I need. I'd like somewhere that knows by the ywear, model, and make of the bike. Can anyone help?

If you want some chrome screws, etc., try your local Ace Hardware/Tru Value, go back to the Hillman fastener aisle. I'd try this before I ordered online, just to avoid the mark-up and shipping, etc. Take your stockers in with you to match the thread size. You may even want to try the stainless variety, just to avoid the corrosion issue.IMHO.

brushed stainless looks pretty sharp.Chrome is abit harder to come by.

On a non-stressed application, cheap is good. No need for grade 8 on your reservoir or Ti for your windscreen; bugs don't care.

I'd have a look at stainless as well. I got some s/s allen head bolts the other day with nyloc nuts for my license plate, they look great
