Kyle, you're a genius. I was going to suggest wood and screws myself.

that goes...

Yes, but in this case the 550 panel is substantially smaller that a 650
panel. I envision hacking the thing in two both directions and then
re-studding it too....hmm. An experiment that I will wait for the results
on.
(P.S...I have both a 550 and a 650 in my shop. I would be willing to measure
the 550 panel for our friend here and maybe he can manufacture one.) Hotrod.

I would like to add to this that I had some success repairing one of
the plastic mounting studs on the inside of my '86 CB700SC. The
rearward stud on the left side busted from... stuff, and i lost the
piece too. I waited it out for the OE rubber grommet piece to come in
the mail. I went to Motorcycles Unlimited, in Stanton, CA and found a
similar, but longer stud off an old Yamaha I think. I stuck the hack-
job together using some bent welding rod for support, and Permatex 2-
part plastic weld epoxy and my Dremmel for a custom fit. The grommet
was like two or three dollars and I had the other stuff so this
repair, although time consuming, is super low cost. For alteration of
body panels... good luck hotrod..
