Default RG fairing......What is this?

I removed my inner fairing to paint it, and these fell on the floor. The holes are smaller than the similar pieces used to mount saddle bags. Anyone recognise them?

They might have come off the well nut's that mount your windshield to the fairing.

If you can't figure it out go to a dealer and look through the Parts Book.

It looks as though it's a "anti-rattle" setup, the rubber washer will isolate the vibrations. Looks to me like a bolt was supposed to be with them.....maybe it's laying somewheres inside the fairing.

Look around inside there and see if you see anything similar, or an open threaded hole.

Those look like the washers from the lower bolt on the lower (leg) fairings. Ive taken apart several road glide fairings and I've never seen washers like that in the upper fairing.
