The original nuts are an extra deep flange nut, I've only found them as a Yamaha part, the cheapest was a boat company in the USA ... who then charged more for postage.

If you only want 1 or 2 look at the top fairing, they're the same nuts.

Therethe same ??

[Evilchicken0]

Yes.
Remember to wire the brush the threads on the studs and put some coppaslip on them. You can use normal flange nuts if you can't find the proper ones but thet're probably more prone to seize. Don't over tighten them.

What nuts am i looking at on the fairing chicken

[Evilchicken0]

There are 4 nuts that hold the top fairing on just above and below the lights

You can get m6 stainless dome nuts on ebay cheapish, prob need a washer on there aswell.
