Default Need help finding the headlight support pins for my f4i

Hello all I have recently purchased headlights for my bike but they did not come with the pins that slot into the front faring stay, I will include pictures of what i mean as I feel my description may not be correct. If I can not buy these 2 pins I will just use some bolts and create the pins.

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately they do not appear to be replaceable parts, searching for another headlight being broken down would be the best best ..
or yes jury rig a replacement, just remember to taper the head down if using a bolt for a snug fit.
Let us know how you get on.

I feel like if I find a bolt that is the same size as the holes on the front fasring stay i should be able to get away without the taper on the tip lookin at the grommets on the stay it dosnt look like the taper matters too much but I could be totally wrong about how it functions

You are correct, the taper will just allow it to fit easier.
Just a word of caution although probably not much effect in reality in that the pins would also be vibration mounts and would have some movement in them, it you leave the bolt threaded it might in time wear away the grommet.
I would personally grind the threads off the bolt and taper it for an easier fit.

100% I actually didnt even think of that the thread would definitely deteriorate the rubber bits on the faring stay in will take the grinding wheel to the bolt before I throw it together and I might aswell tapper it too while I have the grinding wheel out
