    Most shops have them hanging up,picked mine up at Orange Motorsports.Why get everything shipped? when you order even on line at GP and pick it up,shipping is free.As far as the insert goes it comes with a bolt and nut and washer so you can torque it down to seat it.If you make your own you might want to use locktite.I purchased the hard plastic ones which are about $20.with tap,you can purchase without tap for less.

    Most shops where? I live in Mississauga and no motorcycle stores around here have that kind of thing hanging in the store that I know of. Orange motorsports is a 1 and half hour drive for me, in my truck thats probably double the cost of shipping there and back......So for those reasons I would order it, or like I said make it myself...The store that has the inserts is just down the street from me, I can also get SS bolts for them just around the corner. A tap if I dont already have it from the same store that has the inserts...

    And the inserts already come coated with red thread locker...

    Fastenal and Brofacso will only sell a box of 100....KBC tools in Mississauga had 30 in stock and sold them to me individually for under $3 each..Although they do have a $25 minimum, so I bought some loctite and a tap
