We've got this one hardware store chain around it's not Lowe's or Home Depot and they will actually let you buy one screw love those guys.  Of course it might cost you three bucks for the one screw :-)

  LOL went to the local Fastenal store last year looking for a specific screw or bolt for the Drifter, I wanted to try something. Well I learned that the company policy is yes they have a storefront but unless you have a contractor's license they will not sell you anything, but, and it was a big BUT, you were going to buy a box of screws they would sell them to you and the small box as of 100.......yea right......

If you've got any old electrical items lying around like a printer, scanner, boombox etc. you're bound to find an M3X8 inside. Just might save you a trip to the hardware store and having to buy a pack of 10 (Grrrr!)

Hey thanks you guys are awesome. I went ahead and bought the knob --
kind of gave me heartburn 30 bucks, but I passed on the screw because you're right it's just a 3mm and he wants too much money $17 including shipping. I'll go down to the local hardware store and come up with something.

Part number for the knob is 92077-1117.

One on ebay here:

Part number for the screw is: 92009A-1799  (3X8)

On ebay here, but just looks like an M3 pan-head (JIS?) screw with 8mm of thread:

  This might be the route to go

Check scrap yards and such, I will check at the local dealer today.

I was out riding today for a few hours and when I pulled up to the gas pumps I realized the little trip meter knob had dropped off of my odometer.  that's a drag. That's basically my gas gauge. Anyways does anybody know where I can buy one of those? I did a quick check online and I don't see anything for a Kawasaki Vulcan 800. Thanks.
