Replacement fasteners (bolts and rivets)?

[CZroe]

I need to replace a couple rivets and bolts on the bike and I'm kinda tired of going through the motions with them any time it needs any kind of work. I know that racers have some kind of fast way to detach the fairings but I don't know what they are called or what to look for. Also, I don't know if it is only for the bolts or if there is something for the rivets as well. Yes, the rivets. True, they are fast enough to install or remove but I can't do them with my fingers alone and that's why they seem to be "in my way" and annoying just the same.

Of course, searching for these kinds of things just leaves me with result after result about replacement bolt kits available in various colors, but I'm not looking to replace one bolt with another.

I think what your looking for is DZUS Fasteners

I got DZEUS fasteners from Kurveygirl for my track plastics where the upper connects to the lower. Three for each side. Work awesome.

So, they only work where they can go through both plastic parts, like where there is a wellnut? They should make inverted ones that can be screwed into a bolt hole and have a pin coming out of the fairing with a handle attached to something shaped like the back plates.

Thanks.

Nah, though those are interesting. I mean more like the same handle pieces but with a receptacle hole in them and the same pin design that was there protruding from the back of a Xmm bolt instead so that said bolt can be installed in the fairing stay like a normal bolt and the locking handles can be locked over the back pins that protrude through the fairings. Not sure if that's any clearer.

Clear as mud.....LOL

I believe for the four bolts in the fairing around the gas tank the tapped holes would have to be cut off.
