ST1300 Plastic Push Pin Rivets

[Jay51]

What are the mm sizes of the black plastic push pin rivets for the ST1300. I see on eBay that they come in 6mm, 7mm, 8mm and up sizes.
I was at the Honda dealer yesterday and they quoted me $1.99 each. They said it would cost me $130 to replace them all. Yikes!

What are these call and what size? | ST1300 Related

Broke some. They are the push in plastic screw anchors that hold upper cowling to speedometer. I did find some at hardware store but they were $4.49 for 2. E bay has several sizes for $5.00 for 20 or 30. I just want to ensure I buy same size.

Wow - you need to replace ALL of them?!

I grabbed the ones needing replacement and went to a local auto parts store and bought matching pins.

I use 8mm on most of the pins. I think there are 2...6mm, and 2 4mm. I buy them at cycle gear or an automotive parts store. I gave up on exact replacements.

No. I do not need to replace them all. Honda sells a compete replacement pack for $130.

That's a good question. If it's not already on st-owners here somewhere, the next best bet would be to look at a parts fiche like Ron Ayers or similar, and see if the part numbers include the length of the rivet.
They are annoying, are they not?
Different styles, different lengths, and they ALL break after some time.
But I guess there's a reason dzus fasteners aren't used much any more, too...

I keep spares for all of them. If one breaks or the hex head feels dodgy then it goes in the bin and a new one goes into my removed parts tray.

For the plastic pins, ebay the part number. There are many that provide smaller quantities - but search down the offerings for firms that supply packs of (say) 50. They are a pretty good deal. Mostly, the smaller head push pins will fit in the same place as those with the larger head. The larger heads are used where a recess makes it more difficult to pull the head out to remove it, but a screw driver blade usually sorts that.
