If anybody reads this rather older thread, you'll find this, and if it's helpful, great, if not, whatever, it's the Internet.

I purchased some of these rivets from Ron Ayers as specified in an above post. Yup, cheap enough--$1.26 for a bag of five. But then, check this out... $8.00 for shipping! It's always that way with shipping. Charge WAY more than it actually costs to ship the item. *

Anyone else needing some of these OEM plastic pins How about a mass buy and someone keep them at their place and ship them out as needed. Cut the affect of $8 shipping to everyone. I would buy a couple of bags to have someone else mail them to me for a $1 or $2

I am not out of any, but I have a couple(fairings) that are getting worn pretty quickly and I would rather go with oem and I am having trouble finding any online.

Just a thought I see alot of threads on this.

You guys think they are 6mm or 8mm? *I am guessing 6mm but will measure when I get home. *I am placing an order with this ATV company and happened to stumble onto these:

Let us know when you get them in. I bought 10 from my dealer a while back as back up. They are pricey and come 1 per pack.

I need to figure out how to measure them... maybe its the hole in the plastics that they measure out to 6mm? I measured the head of the plastic rivet and it was more like 11mm. Tonight i'll measure the hole on the body of the bike, before I order them.

These guys are free shipping with $100 spent, so it works out for me.

I am having trouble finding the larger plastic rivets. the ones that hold the dash pieces to the frame next to the gas tank. I dropped the bus two weeks ago and that was the real only casuality. One of the plastic rivits wound up in the grass on the side of the freeway. I have been searching a lot of websites and can get the schematic of the cowlings but none of the plastic rivits that I need. Again not the small ones that connect cowlings together but the larger ones that go into the frame. I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks!!

Take them out and go to a local Lowes store. Match them with ones in the shelves and be done with it. Look in the nuts and bolts section. If i remember correctly they come 5 to a pack and are a dollar and some change. Big and small.
