I kid you not. I had just started out on a ride, was about to change lanes to make a left turn and I heard a "plink!" and looked to my right to see what I thought was just the acorn nut boucing on the road next to me. Since I've had my fairing off a couple times this week, I thought maybe I didnt tighten it down enough and it worked itself loose.
So I pulled into a driveway, ran to retrieve it, and to my surprise the bolt had sheared off to be just about flush with the opening in the acorn nut.

There is still some thread poking thru, in fact I might even be able to thread it up with a new acorn nut.
So, I guess my question is - doesn anyone know what length, width and thread pitch I need to replace it?
I'm not looking forward to trying to get whats left of the bolt out. I guess just vice grips or pliers to try to rotate it out?
