The spikes came in a 6 pack (ebay, $10 + shipping, with exhange came to about 18 bucks $ Canadian). I had to cut the threads down on two of them (from a 20mm length to about 10mm) to fit in the holes. These spike bolts are intended to replace the fairing and windscreen bolts. I tried the remaining bots in the windscreen and all around the bike to see if I wanted to order more and replace all the bolts. I found I did not like how they looked in the windscreen and especially not how they looked in the top of the fairing on each side of the tank. They almost hit the left grip when the steering was locked over. BUT, I did like how they looked on the front lower part of thr fairing:

I have since ordered a set of black hex head bolts with black washers to replace the remaining bolts on the body work. Should have those in a week or so.
