I hate Torx bolts!! The inventor should be tarred & feathered.
The two that go under near the forks.........I'm constantly dropping them when trying to re-install.
Lowe's.......(4) 1/4-20 X 3/4" socket head cap screws (black). The stockers are 5/8" but these work fine.
They stay on the allen head wrench or allen head screwdriver when you're putting them back in place.
Just sayin'.

That is a fine alternative. Here's another. Two 1/4 20 stud's 1 in. long , and two butterfly wing nut's. Simply screw stud's into the lower fairing, line up the bottom hole's then screw nut's on! Done!

Since the hole area is recessed, your going to mar up the inner fairing tightening them down...

Could go 1 1/2 in. on the stud or at least till it bottom's out, and leave's enough thread to screw on the wing nut's.
