    I need to replace the old rubber nut from my right fairing. honda wants $2.50 for each rubber nut. Where on ebay or online can i find them cheaper.

    searching for fairing rubber not yield no results.

    Arshu these are commonly called "well nuts" and you might want to try ebay or search the web for metric sized well nuts that you could buy online. If you need one or two, I'd just cough up the coupla bucks each and get the OEM replacements.... just my 2 cents.... Good luck in your search!

    If Honda has one in stock and that is all you need then just get it from the dealer. I wanted to replace 14 of the well nuts on the upper cowl on my 2000 last year and even though the parts cost more from Honda than they did in the after market, the after market ones wound up costing more, by a fair margin I might add, by the time you factor in shipping costs. Not sure about the US, but when I got the ones from the dealer here in Canada, they didn't have any well nuts in stock and had to order them, but there was no shipping charged by the dealer and they delivered them to me at home for no extra charge since I was close to the store.

    Yep desmoparts work great! I replaced all of them on my 2000. The new problem then is that the Allen screws work better if they are a little bit longer. Took me a while to find just the ones I wanted through mcmaste Carr.
