Screen bolt gone awol

[mikestrong]

I've managed to lose the top right screen bolt as you look at front of bike.

Now the wellnut has also gone so I think I'd have to strip down fairing etc. just to get another nut in there.

The alternative is to get a 5mm fairing clip . Do you think that would hold ? Screen is quite solid but if there are 8 holes aught to have 8 bolts?

Just take the screen off and push a new wellnut into the hole, you dont need to take any more off.

That sounds almost to easy

It is. It's getting the wellnuts out again to remove the instrument cowl that's the real burger.

I just push them all inwards they are usually too bunched-up to pull outwards.
