I've decided on a ZG Double Bubble dark smoke windscreen. I'm also going to purchase the black bolt kit from eBay. It includes the screws, plastic washers and wellnuts. Is that all that needed? The wellnuts on the stocker seem to be double sided? anyone know if the ones included are as well? |

Save the OEM wellnuts and carefully reuse them. The ones provided by ebay merchants are typically worthless --- too small and inelastic. You could also ask the merchant before buying whether they are genuine Wellnut brand or a cheap knockoff. If genuine, the Wellnuts are far more expensive than the bolts themselves. Expect to pay (a lot) more. Other than that, the ebay package is all you need. |

I re-used my Wellnuts when I switched to the ZG stock replacement (it actually has a bubble). It worked and they fit perfectly. |

Rogue did the wellnuts come off the stocker easy? I just looked at the top right one I unscrewed to see how they were set up. Looks like it has a double sided thing a maging haha Whats the best method to swap em over without ruining? |

What you're going to do is unscrew the bolt from the nut, then GENTLY pull it out while squeezing the rubber that has "bubbled" over the windscreen and/or fairing. It's pretty easy, just take your time and don't force it. |

They came right out, smooth and easy. When putting them back in, I either use spit or some WD-40 to slide them back in ( I think I used spit as it was faster and dried clear). You just have to be careful when you remove/replace them that's all. |

And if you want (or end up needing) a new set of wellnuts, here's a link for what appear to be genuine ones. Looks like $10 for 10, counting shipping. Make sure you get the right size though! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wellnuts-Metric-M5-Windscr een-Fairing-Rubber-Well-Nuts-/380393901658?pt=Moto rcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item58913e4 e5a |
