Re: Where do these two items go?
Back on the original pics of the two screws that are in two fairly flat plates:
I'm thinking about
function, and they could serve to hold down or anchor cables.
The screws do not look like fairing hardware to me; but engine hardware might be completely different than fairing hardware.
(They do
not seem to be OEM for holding either the throttle cables or the choke cable.)

On the second set of pictures, the second photo is attached, to the right. The shafts appear to be threaded, but the screw head is too small to be OEM. So they look like after market replacements.

The third or middle photo of the five is also attached, to the left. The pair of "shoulder screws with nuts" do look like the fastener that holds the two upper fairings together. But I think another pair of them holds each upper fairing to the top of the headlight. I have needed a 10 mm "ring wrench" to hold the nut when installing them, but did not ever have a problem re-installing them.
EDIT: On second thought, they do not hold the uppers together; the heads look like the hex socket type; they hold the uppers to the top of the headlight, like I said.
Put the nut towards the rear end of the bike, and hold it with a 10 mm ring wrench, while turning the screw from the front with a hex bit.
Then repeat for the other side of the headlight/upper fairing.
Others have said similar things:
... Picture #3 of the nut and bolt look familiar. There are 2 very similar looking nut and bolt sets that hold the plastic fairing together. They are somewhat difficult to access. By the top of the head light in the fairing. I used a 1/4" ratchet and about 6" extension. I don't remember if a hex key socket for the head or a socket for the nut. I know several guys the have left them out because of the difficulty installing them.
... The plastic clip looks to be aftermarket as it seems to me too long to be one of the OEMs. ... I’m still not sure about the 6mm? bolts and broken tabs. ... John
I have found that the best place to "store" any screw or bolt is in the same hole that it came out of.
And to say a screw is "6 mm" generally refers to the diameter of the threaded shaft.
