Well first off this isnt my bike, im actually team honda and ride a 600rr 
....sorry guys. However my friends dad did purchase a stock k5 busa over the summer and just recently hes gotten the bug to start buying parts and modifying it. He planned on taking it to a local dealer and have them install everything but i just offered to do it to save him the time and money since it was all easy stuff (puig windscreen, carbon fiber yoshis, hotbodies undertail, etc.)
So the bike didnt come with an undertail at all, im guessing the previous owner kept it so i went out and bought a bag of those black 6mm pop/push rivets whatever you want to call them from napa and installed it with those. However he and i arent particularly fond of the finish and appearance of them, they dont exactly blend in or look oem since they dont have a dome shaped head, it just kind of looks like a button coming out. So i was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a brand or type of rivet or fastener that would look better and work just as well? Or if anyone has any extras lying around that i could purchase thatd be great too.
Secondly, the yoshis are just slip ons, not a full system and on the clutch side where it bolts to the midpipe theres a slight leak since when we first started the bike up afterwards some white smoke started leaking out of where they bolt together. Not sure if some gasket sealant or something would fix that? Not really a huge deal since it doesnt sound like theres an exhaust leak or anything but it is bolted on tightly and everything, just something else that annoyed him but im not overly concerned about.
Finally, I also ordered him a swing arm license plate bracket since he didnt want to drill into the undertail to remount it and liked the idea of the plate being down there anyway. It hasnt been delivered yet but it didnt look like there would be too much clearance between where the top of the bracket would be and the bottom of the exhaust. I wouldnt want it to dent or scratch his brand new exhaust, and i dont think hed be happy either. Anyone ever have an issue with that? And do i just have to remove that big silver nut on the axle and put the bracket on then put the nut back on to install it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys.
And a little pic of the bike to give you guys something to look at
