need help finding screws and push rivets

Hey guys, not sure how but I seem to have lost some of these expensive push rivets. The kind that are used often in the fairings. This part at Partzilla. I'm wondering if this part will replace it. Said another way, have any of you already found a cheaper replacement for these that you know works. I did already buy a big a$$ kit from Amazon but have found that like NONE of them work on my bikes. 

 

Also, and Partzilla's price on these aren't that bad but I need a couple of these too. I usually have no problem giving Partzilla gobs of money to get OE screws, pins, stickers etc. but $4 a pin is BS. Let me put it this way, in the past five years I'm sure I've spent nearly $3,000 there (there's a $1,400 frame in there though). 

 

TIA!

I've been buying my well nuts from here: https://www.clipsandfasteners.com

The main fairing well nuts are P/N 16248. The secondary ones used on the front and rear sub-frames (5 Gen) are  P/N16242

 

I was able to buy a bunch of the 6 Gen plastic rivets from a seller on AliExpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.6.2.71064c4dXxOkIA&orderId=85058235741419&productId=32713849285

 

As for the plastic rivets you show, I've purchased some from here: https://boltmotorcyclehardware.com/

Thanks guys. I searched ebay and Amazon (and Google) thoroughly before posting. Variable, I saw those but assumed they were crap. But now that I again see that the delivered price per clip comes out to 42 cents per, I'll give them a shot. 

 

EDIT: well, there you go; too good to be true. Guess I'll try Duc's suggestions. 🙂

You will need M6 push rivets. Most dealers or parts stores (Auto and M/C) will have a generic pack of 10 for around $5 ~$8 - just be careful with the head diameter as some brands have a reaaly wide pan-head which will not fit correctly in the recesses molded into some of the plastic parts. Take a stock one with you to verify.

 

I lost the same Allen bolt on my VFR1200 and ordered one, just to find it the next day.....

 

Hahaha, I'm into Partzilla for about the same, and Jake Wilson/Riders Domain about $1500 in tires the last five years.....
