Hey, Just got the old dog out for the summer (or what passes for that in upstate ny) and decided to doll her up a bit. I added the CF tank accents from Al over at America Sport Bike. (Shameless plug) If you don't shop there, you should! I haven't had the plastic on the bike in eons so of course I couldn't find any of the well nuts that are necessary to connect the front. I finally found two in the fender area and was able to accomplish the mission. So after looking in the trusty parts manual I found that are a couple different well nuts used by part number. I'm thinking they may be the same, but I don't know. So does anybody know the difference between This one is the lower belt guard 7818Y Well-Nut(2) This is the fender and tank/Airbox/Side cover M0705.3 Well-Nut (4) or (6) Also does anyone know where to get them and screw AA0408.11CDBL that lovely black zinc 1/4x20x3/4 screws that drove me to remove the body work in the first place? Thanks matt |

Well the nuts are classified by size. IE 1/4-20, Take said, blown, wellnuts to your local fastner store and they can get you what you need for a 1/16 the cost of the dealer. |

Thanks Spidey, I figured as much. Holy crap are the prices on these things (from the web) all over the map! (Message edited by mbsween on March 18, 2010) |

Another possible local source might be a marine dealer. I have seen quite a few items attached in boats with well nuts. |
