Good idea~I'm sure you could match something that would work from here:
Pro-Bolt Quick Release 1/4 Turn Fasteners
Yup, I have Pro-Bolt on speed dial lol...

I thank they would be a good spot to mount some powered Bluetooth (or hardwired) speakers.I was wondering about cutting a round or square hole in the flat plastic piece thats under the trim piece that we take off on the frunk end that we could drop in a small plastic round or square tub into with a snap on lid. Lid would hold it from falling through and it would be more waterproof. rj
I just tied to see what fits in there, I managed a quart aluminum water bottle. This leads to the question can you shove and bungee a MSR fuel bottle in there. I suspect so. I may need to run to the sporting goods store and try this. If anyone has a fuel bottle pop the fuct off then feed the top of the bottle in from the front near the forks. If I get to it ill try and post pics later.

I wonder if some dual lock could be used to eliminate the fasteners altogether so you could just pull the panel off?

I like that idea! I might still put a pin in the bolthole because that bolt seems to help hold the fairing flush.
I wonder if there could be some easy way to remove and reset the fasteners--like a filament loop around the center piece to help get the center piece popped out?
The adhesive will eventually fail in either very hot or very cold weather. Everything that I have used dual lock on (EZpass, TPMS indicator, Remote V1 controller, Spot Tracker, and more) has failed within two or three years, often sooner. That includes the super-uber heavy duty dual lock.I wonder if some dual lock could be used to eliminate the fasteners altogether so you could just pull the panel off?
Well I bought a tire repair kit and a handful of el cheapo tools to squeeze into the "fuct" space but none of it will fit while it is in any kind of container.
A couple weeks back I went out amd bought some knurled easier to remove screws. They work for me. Home Depot M5 - 32 x 14mm internal hex socket screws.

That said, what with the science of screw thread diameter and im not sure I got a perfectly snug replacement, and im not confident there isnt a better one out there. Caveat emptor (for .93 cents)
I do like being able to remove the fruct with my gloves on.
Well I'll be. I just took both sides off and they are equally unfilled. So what do we call these storage areas? We have a frunk, how about "fents" for false vents or "fides" for false sides? rj
