bodywork clip - SV650.org

So it was only a matter of time until I broke one !
To remove the seat on a K1 you have to undo a small allen screw and "swing" the small black side panel to one side which uncovers another allen screw that secures the seat in place.
Well - instead of "swinging" the plastic panel to one side (as I usually do) I decided to removed it by pushing in the center pin of the small bodywork clip that the panel swings on - so far so good !
When refitting one of the sides of this stupid insignificant little snapped off - doh !
So, are these little clips available - or are more substantial alternatives available ? Any idea where I might find a part Number ?

Thanks all

Any dealer will sell you them for silly money... But my advice is not to bother, the bottom bolt holds them on just fine.

Thanks for that - to be honest I was with your thinking. Its the Allen screw that holds the panel in place. However, as they seem to be easy to get hold of, & for the negligible cost involved, I might as well replace it. Any excuse for a ride to a dealers.......
Cheers.......

If I remember correctly those little pins are a quid each! Useful to have a few spare as they are used on the fairing panels on a curvy too. Must say though, mine have never broken, I've just misplaced em.
