    Fairing fixings/wellnuts

    My Tenere is possibly the worst pain in the assss to get he fairing off... those well nut things are a nightmare and theres about 8 per side fairing panel. Wheres best to get some new ones .... bar from Yamaha.. as they are worth more than gold by weight. maybe with a decent head on the screw also rather than "marginally better than toffee" alloy,, possibly a stainless screw. Need some asap

    Don't know about the best ones, but if you are in a hurry then Halfords do them.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    Cheers Bob, been asking around for any possible other solutions but these wellnut things are a bugger, made worse by the fact that yamaha spares want over £4 for 1, Honda spares are about the same. Disgraceful price !!
