Re-usable plastic "rivets"



The little black plastic things that help to hold fairing panels onto a
Bandit, that you open by poking a small screwdriver in to the end of
them.

Due to the special blend of brute-force and ignorance that is a
fundamental part of all of my bike fettling, I have broken a couple.

Are they standard motor-shop bits that I can buy anywhere or do I need
to get them from a Suzuki dealer? If they're standard things, what do I
ask for (size-wize, I mean - or do they only come in one size)?

I nipped into the local Halfords to ask, but I might as well have been
speaking Swahili for all the good it did me.
You might find that plastic number plate screws fit, if you don't mind
different heads.
Probably made by Raymond

If not, they'll have something similar that fits...

Try calling them up and ask if they can spare a few samples.

Ooh ooh-- I know this one. I get them at a local auto parts ("motor
factors" to you), made by Motormite, part number...

Motormite # 47952

Dunno if you get can them in the UK or not.
Yamaha do the same thing, dunno if dimensions are similar though
oh and your clocks out a bit
