I am missing the female fastener for the screw hole shown in the pic. This is the left side body piece that goes over the tank, top front of the fairing just below the cluster. There is a pretty decent size square cutout that this tab fits over, I believe there should be a female receiver for an M5 bolt that would secure this tab marked n the pic. I have both the M5 female clip on nuts and the M5 bolts but the square is too large, It must be missing something?

Sorry, its kind of a crap pic, I could not find anything on the microfiche to show where this tab connects to. Any help would be appreciated. Its rattling and making me crazy... : )

The square hole in the frame tube takes, item 8, Part Number 51 71 1 916 199, Description LOCK INSERT


The fairing panel is secured with, item 9, Part Number 51 71 1 916 197, Description LOCK


This video is for a Camhead but FF to 6:16 shows the clip.

I used a cable tie when I lost mine for a quick fix...
