Start with the basics, main part of the fairing is usually held in place by a brace, bolted onto a rigid parts of the frame. Then things like the side panels, lowers & windscreen are attached onto the main. Rigidity is maintained by the way they connect with each other, the center piece & lowers (screwed into other sections of the frame). It does not take much to make the fairing start to wobble if some of the pins are missing & say a loose mounting bolt or 2. What you really should be worried about, if its wobbling, then some strain will be happening on the mounting parts of the fairing & can cause cracking in the ABS plastics & some points to even snap. So pull the panels & check that what needs to be tight is & replace the pins.
If you go OEM the little buggers can cost a bomb, but after market ones are availible, they look the same & are probably made by the same company, but without HONDA part number .... on the label.
