Missing fastener/nuts on the side panel

Hi everyone,

I have no idea what this part is called but I seem to have lost it on one of the side panels.
This is where the bottom bolt of the plastic wind deflector things screws into. To be honest, I could leave without those things installed but wanted to check here to see if it can be easily found on eBay or an alternative for it?


TIA!

Are you talking about the rubber w/threaded insert to accept a screw?
There is also a stud that has an elastic stop nut on it, insert goes into tank.

I didn't actually lose both of these fasteners, but they wouldn't stay put. I ended up using a normal nut and washer as it is possible to remove the lower panels with the air spoiler attached if you take off the top bolt and washer.

Actually, someone replied last night and informed me what they were called but I don't see that post any more for some reason?
Anyhow, as kiwi dave also mentioned, they are called "rubber well nut" and it goes thru the hole on the side panel not the gas tank.

I was able to check the other one and confirmed it was indeed size M6 1/2" and ordered a 10-piece pack on eBay for $6-$7. I am not sure if I really want to keep those reflectors on or off but I figured I rather have the spares just in case.

As I played with the other side, that thing is really in there and not easy to come out so not sure how it fell in the first place.

Thank you all for chiming in!

PS. Kiwi Dave, I am so jealous you live in NZ! One of my dream rides is exploring the South Island in NZ.
