So i got some off ebay,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0326884474 to be exact....
but do they just screw into those mounting points you can see in the frame through the fairings, or do i need to buy nuts???
i apologise for my idiocy with this matter.....

they will bolt into the lower engine mounts most likley - I cannot see them as ebay is blocked..lol
tap the threads out and chop your fairings....

2 options. You can fit it to the lower engine mounts, or into the 'V' bracket that holds the engine. My personal experience from the mushrooms and mounting points are that when fitted to the engine lugs, a low speep spill broke the lug. When fitted to the top mount another low speed spill stripped the treads from the bolt. They are well enought made but either fitting point requires you to cut the fairing but I'd rather go with the R+G non-drill mushrooms but they are nearly £100 more than what you paid for those.

I had the lower mount strip on mine and my new bike had the front cyl head mounts snap off so I don't like them anyways..lol
Even if my fairings are cut for them I don't bother anymore

Cutting that fairing was more painful than when i slipped and the knife cut the side of my middle finger off!!!!
