what is this and where does it go?
« on: June 07, 2015, 01:14:56 pm »
took the LH fairing off my bike to send it for paint after the "Swiss roundabout incident" and when I moved the styrofoam block to get a look at the engine, this fell out? any ideas ?

Looks like one of the three Blind rivet nuts decoupling M5, that come with the Flat mushroom-head screws M5X16 SI, located in the front side of the front left side section fairing.

Looks like a fairing spacer bush. Take a look at item number 4 http://www.rainbowbmw.com/BMWETK/Products/0587_46_12026.html there are three per side.
