    If getting to Fyshwick is problematic, there is also a similar store at 12 Sandford Street, Mitchell called Nuts Bolts and Screws.

    Mitchell won't have left hand threaded bolts so Fyshwick is your only option.

    Haha yeah he basically said that.

    He also said that motorbikes all have custom made ones so my only option was to order a new set, which i half expected would have been the case. Im sure i can get something close to what im after, but may as well have it perfect.

    They're usually not *hugely* special. Sometimes they have thicker shanks or smaller heads to make them fit in certain situations, but most often they're some form of allen headed capscrew/button head/countersunk metric bolt.
