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.

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.
