Odd fairing fastener

[Toast]

Does anyone know where to get a fastener such as the one in the attached pic?

It's the typre that bites on to a piece of wire when you turn it.

I'm not too worried about the head type, slot or hex.

Cheers.

That looks like a fairly conventional Dzus fastener, in a fairly unconventional colour. You can buy Dzus fasteners from most bike shops, in a set with the bolt and socket, for around $19, IIRC.

Thanks guys, I'll give Corsa a go. My fairings already have wire welded on to the inside, so all I need is the screw/bolt. Hopefully he can provide that.

If Corsa can't do them try EDL in Fairfax ave? Penrose, not too far from Corsa....

My RC30 has the same sort of things, in stainless, with a flat blade screwdriver slot and a foldout wire bail so you can use then without getting out the toolkit.
They have a pair of teflon washers to hold them onto one part of the fairing and stop it scratching the other piece.
