I don't know of a local fastener supplier but have bought stainless kit off Ebay before and it's been pretty good - if your fairing bolts are pretty much one size and say all have a domed head it's even easier and quite cheap to get a bag deal via the 'Bay - I have a small collection of various size stainless bolts from there - handy to have - the Pro-Bolt stainless gear is pricey but looks like it's been given a good polish before packing ...

I got a kit off eBay for my old R1 they might as well have sent me a box of nails and a tiny hammer - just shite.

It was from the us. The actual fairing kit from China was really good.

i have used my local hardware shop for year for stuff like this, Hampsons (i think its called) in st.helens mind (opposite st.helens central train station).
The guy is a tad autistic looking and can tell you what type of bolt, thread type, length, use etc just by looking at it or describing it. Cheap too, ie 10p each. Fairing etc- chrome steel/stainless
Exhausts- always mild steel or titanium (won't go brittle like stainless does)
I swear by them (even though i'm not sure what they are called haha)
