Missing anchor point on fairing - 2010 ABS

[wipfel]

I removed the top piece of the right fairing and, when I put all the pieces back together, I realized the rear-most screw doesn't have anything to screw into.  See the pics below for the anchor point.  I took a pic of the mount point closer to the front of the bike and you can see there's a rubber grommet.  I'm wondering if the rear-most hold is supposed to have one.

If that's the case, does anyone know where I can order one?

And this would be for what bike?  Yes, I think it's a 10 by the color, but it would be nice to know for sure.  If it's a well nut or fairing nut, then Murph sells them.

Yes, It's a missing well nut. You can buy them from your dealer of course...

Hardware stores carry them, but generally only have SAE sizes, not metric.

Hi Jim,

Original post has been edited.  Sorry about that!  In direct violation of your request to add the year no less.

Thanks guys!  I ordered some well and fairing nuts from Murphs.

Mine just arrived today.  I rung one of those boogers off the other day.  I hate them, I does.

Make it easy on yourself.  Update the sig line or the avatar.  That way you don't have to remember to do it.  That's what I do because I have no memory.

In your second pic, the plastic broke that secures the well nut on my bike. I had to zip tie the well nut in place with what was left.

It works, but I might try and get warranty on it before it expires.

Probably from landing a wheelstand too hard.

I replaced my mirror and the top fairing piece but when I put it back together, the holes didn't line up.  The nut well on the mirror assembly (your lower picture) was towards the centerline of the bike so far that I could just see the edge of it when I looked through the screw hole on the fairing piece.  I put two of the rubber spacers on the back of the mirror assembly which brought it out a little.  Next I pushed really hard (inward on the base of the mirror assembly) to get the bolt to begin threading into the well nut and all looked good until I noticed that the top fairing snap piece (my lower picture) wasn't staying snapped.  If I push the silver lower fairing in towards the centerline and then down on the top fairing, it will snap into place but within a minute, it pops back out.  I checked the left side of the bike and everything lines up just like you would expect so I'm wondering why my replacement mirror assembly would be off by such a drastic amount.  Any suggestions would be appreciated because I'm baffled at this point.

I'm certainly no expert, but if you could post pics maybe we could offer some suggestions.  Somebody might be able to look at it and see something out of place.
