+1 me too, except I only got one extra...
I think they want to make a point of customer service. It sure is nice having extras on hand, and I will certainly buy from desmoparts again next time. |

Check out your local Fastenal for any nuts and bolts. You have to buy package quantity as they are a wholesaler. If they don't stock it, they will order it in to the store.
M5 well nut P/N 11120408 M6 weel nut P/N 11120410 www.fastenal.com You can also buy metric socket head stuff already chromed if you want to replace any bolts for looks. They have stores in most major cities.

I replaced two decayed/shredded wellnuts on each side of the upper rear fairings (each side, near the taillight cover).
I don't know if they are suitable for all uses on the bike, but I found ones that worked at my local Ace's Hardware (in Oregon). The label for the compartment on the inside of the tray on the "wall of fasteners" read: 56204121 Metric Well Nut Grip Range .015 - .192" 5mm $0.69 each They also had 4mm and 6mm versions as well. |

Nice - thanks for the tip!
We have a local Ace too, that has an amazing assortment of fasteners of all kinds.... we are talking 10X what Lowes and Home Depot has. Well, maybe that is an exageration, but 5X isn't. |

I had a couple of mine disintegrate on me as well. When I went to the dealer they simply gave me the rubber wellnuts from a yamaha, they're cheaper (not really cheap, but cheaper) So if you want to buy them locally, that's another route you can take.

Not a part to buy OEM or from a dealer. I think my local harware store (ACE) even has them on the cheap.

They do have metric
However, you may be right about THIS product. I have never looked for well-nuts specifically at ACE, since I ordered directly from Desmoparts. My local ACE has a kick-arse fastener section; it is almost Smithsonian worthy. It is the only reason to go there. HD and Lowe's usually disappoint in this department, so I goto ACE when I need the harder to find stuff. I would go more, but it is farther. I digress..... |

click here for the cheapest price, fair and fast shipping, on well nuts
This link just can't be posted enough. I order stuff on Saturday, have it in hand by Thursday, including powder coated bolts. I used to order from Desmo, but found bikebolts to be cheaper and faster.

So, what am I ordering from BikeBolts? M5 or M6 or both? How many? I just want to have a complete set before I take my fairings off.

I blew one of my windscreen wellnuts yesterday, so I ran up to cyclegear and purchased a windscreen bolt kit for 15 bucks, it came with 8 well nuts and 8 aluminum screws, the well nuts for the windscreen fit the fairings also, I tried them, its a little expensive for 8 but is better than 4.95 for each from the stealer.

I found a couple more well-nuts on the bike last night that I didn't previously know where there. Their wasn't much left of them to get a good measurement though. One set was in the tail, holding the fairing pieces on; and the other piece was under the passenger pegs, securing the mud flap. Does anyone know the sizes of these well-nuts?

When I origonally pulled my tail and mud flap apart it looked different than the other 5MM well nuts, but they were so disintegrated that it must have led me in the wrong direction. I guess this simplifies things. Thanks! |

I just bought one locally when I replaced my windscreen to the ZG DB and it did come with 8 washers(plastic) 8 bolts super light weight compared to stock(re-used stock instead), and 8 well nuts.

I thought that the windscreen used different wellnuts than the rest of the bike, right?

They are all the same, These well nuts for the windscreen, the two on the tail, and the ones in the mud splash thing on the back for rear tire are all 5mm well nuts I am 100% sure because I have replaced them all and use this one same kit.

These are the 14 total rubber well nuts that I found: 2x in the tail fairings under the passenger seat/solo sport cowl. 2x in the undertail, one of which requires removing the right-side passenger peg (you can leave your exhaust "floating") 2x in the RH lower fairing 2x in the LH lower fairing 2x in the windscreen 2x in the fairing stay under the windscreen/upper fairing (longer bolts from the bottom of the windscreen) 2x inside the upper fairing for the headlight mount Quote:

For what it's worth, the wellnuts I ordered from desmoparts (OP) a year and a half ago are still in perfect condition, after at least three dozen fairing removals.

Rubber threaded nuts for fairings?
I'm missing a couple of these and I have no idea where to find more. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, they're the little rubber things that sit on the backside of the fairings that the smaller screws with washers on them screw into.
There are 2 for the front screws in the fairings that mate up with the front fairing on each side, and I believe the windshield uses them too. I'm missing three, they just broke off. I have no idea where to order these or how much they cost. Anyone have an idea? |

Well nuts. Expensive as hell from kawi. Available in standard sizes from any hardware store on the cheap, but you'll need an imperial bolt to match.

Search Well Nuts, and there should be at least one thread available. Fastenal carries the metric sizes, but when I inquired, the closest store with any was in PA; I think. It was going to take a week to get them in their store, and I was headed out of town a few days later, for a couple weeks. Then never got around to going back.

Every well nut on my bike went bad. When I see a well nut, I know to get out the standard allen keys set because the nut and its accompanying bolt are of the standard hardware store variety.

You can buy these at your local hardware stores (i.e. Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc.). They may not be the same as the OEM ones but they still work.

This is a stupid question, but I do not care. I am wanting to replace, or at least buy enough to replace, all of the well nuts for the fairings/windshield/ect. What sizes do I need? How many do I need? I've tried looking at the links in this thread but I'm not finding much of anything.
Also, I wouldn't mind getting a replacement bolt kit, so if the site with the well nuts also has a bolt kit, that'd be swell |
