I would be willing to measure the 550 panel for our friend here and maybe he can manufacture one.)

The rearward stud on the left side busted from... stuff, and i lost the piece too. I waited it out for the OE rubber grommet piece to come in the mail. I went to Motorcycles Unlimited, in Stanton, CA and found a similar, but longer stud off an old Yamaha I think. I stuck the hack- job together using some bent welding rod for support, and Permatex 2- part plastic weld epoxy and my Dremmel for a custom fit. The grommet was like two or three dollars and I had the other stuff so this repair, although time consuming, is super low cost. For alteration of body panels... good luck hotrod..
