I may be wrong but I bet you can get one of those at an auto parts store.

I bought a bag of (50 I think?) those a while back and divied them up among the S2 guys. I may still have one extra for a nominal cost. Or I can dig around and find where and what I bought if you want a surplus of them. They are a stock car replacement part from the 90's. I will look over the weekend.

Found this link. It was a bag of 25. Most online auto prts places will have them, but I will look over the weekend if you want to know where I bought them.

The ones at the auto parts stores are for metal buckets and will not work very well.

The part on the left in the pic is plastic where the head of the screw would go.
I guess I could go to Harley and see if they have something similar ??

Subject title says S2.
Certainly would be different if it was S3 as the adjusters are built into the headlight on the S3.

In the pic it sure looks like a S3 fairing mount and plastic headlight. If he is putting it on an X1 a S2 fairing would not be a bolt on.

The adjusters are built into the headlight shells on the S3. Not an auto parts store or Harley item. You have to replace the whole unit. You may be able to kludge a normal adjuster screw somehow, but no plug in part available to my knowledge. I broke the plastic end on one and put it back with solid stick epoxy.
