« on: May 15, 2020, 13:16:54 »
Pushed one of these into the fairing and can't get it out. Where would I buy something like that?

They are called wellnuts and you should get them from Suzuki.
Be prepared to be fleeced , they are expensive for what they are.

     Try a search for this number on Ebay.  202776653954
     They are quite cheap and come with a new bolt.Quite coincidently the seller lives in Stanley Village, about 3 miles from where I live.Looks a good find for small fittings without needing a World Bank loan to get bits from Suzuki.

That's what I did, then discovered there's lots of generic equivalents for a fraction of the price. (Obviously after I'd got fleeced!  :))

That actually last longer than Suzuki too  :thumb:

There is a price on the plastic fairing clips (pop fasteners) £3 each or ebay will get a big bag full for £10

To digress briefly, I bought my torx pin security bolts from Kayfast as well as various stainless nuts and screws. The security bolts were ridiculously cheap, and when I opened the jiffy bag they'd even supplied the driver bit to fit them! Always good on price, fast delivery (pandemic permitting) and decent quality. Good firm to deal with. Hijack over.

If you remove quotes from replies which are out of sequence and further down the thread, the replies then don't make sense. Now my reply looks like I'm saying I bought mine from eBay, when in fact it was a reply to an earlier message saying I'd bought them from Suzuki. Not exactly the end of the world in this thread, but sometimes this over-judicious pruning makes threads hard to follow.

Over-judicious? If you must quote, don't quote the whole thing, then I won't have to be over j......

I buy practically all my fixings from Kayfast: the last time I looked they had cut the range significantly due to supply issues I'd guess. They have these though: under fixings.
