I am after some new fixings for my fairing as several of mine are missing
I have seen a few places online, but can anyone recommend a good place to get them from that are both well priced and good quality.

Also what are the things called, that the bolts screw into as I need these also.
I have tried searching but cannot find any as I'm not sure what they are called.

Thanks

The bolts are likely to be M5/M6 button head allen bolts.

The bits they screw into depend on bike/part but on most bikes are likely to be either:

Well nuts:

or U nuts:

As for where to buy them - eBay is usually the cheapest place for small quantities.

Thanks, from your pic the ones I need are U nuts. Explains why I found nothing searching for fairing bolt receptacles.
I will have to work out the size of the existing bolts.

I have loads of St/St fixing knocking about.

what size and how many do you want?


What are St/St fixings? I'm rubbish at motorcycle related terminology.

stainless steel, harder and rust resistant more expensive but a lot better
