Default help identifing the type of nut I need to replace

Hey guys, how are you?

The left side plastic piece that sits on top of the farrings (that covers the air intake and screws into the front where the headlight is) is missing a nut on the end that sits on the gas tank.

The nut itself is what looks like a double sided rubber washer that "slips" over the hole on the gas tank so that you can screw that plastic cover securly into the tank.

Does anybody have any idea what im talking about or what I can do to find this nut? I would love to get some help, the piece pops off ever other ride because there is nothign holding it to the tank and is pretty annoying.

Thanks for all your help.

Here is a picture of the piece my friend took:

Pretty sure you either need 90111-KW3-003 (nut) or 64586-MBW-D20 (rubber). It's kinda hard to tell via the fiche. Maybe someone else can help. Or just order both of them, because they're cheap (about $2-3 each).

Go by a dealer. They should have lots of them.

They are called Wellnuts
They look like this before they are tightened:

For odd & ends like that I generally go to bikebandit.com. They have full schematics and descriptions of the parts which makes it really nice to identify what is broken/missing etc. Can be a bit pricey with some parts but overall I am happy with them.
