Where the shoulder of the bolt comes into play is it fits 'inside' the hole of the fender to keep it from moving around and cracking.
A small sleeve of the right size would do the same thing or else a stack of washers of the right size.

And they're not only "holding" the fender in place, they're attaching the fork-brace in there, stabilizing the front end...
Yes, losing those shoulder bolts for any parts of the fairing are probably one of my top worries, practically unobtanium. Only way I can think of to recreate them is to get a standard button head bolt. Then wrap some stainless wire around it underneath the head to make a new shoulder. Then use baking soda and super glue to fuse it together and with the bolt. Sand/file it to match the original
Or find/make a metal sleeve bushing to slip over the bolt to mimic the shoulder. Dunno...brainstorming.

Nope, I get it I’ve been doing the same. And can’t believe I lost them. Anyway, a 6 x 55 button head screw is commonly available and I think a suitable sized bushing could be found or made to slide up to the top of the head. Hell it could be a pen body. When I got divorced one if my prize possessions I had the sell was a 1939 Southbend lathe I restored it was 6 x 36” perfect little machine for making a bushing like I’ll need. It is not structural though it’s just a fender bolt I ran it all last season without them and it was fine.
Someone with a lathe could probably make these fairly easily, start with an M8 or M10 button head bolt, machine the shoulder to dimension then thread it for M6.
I'm also of the opinion that the shoulder isn't overly necessary, if it were me I'd just shove a button head on it and call it a day.
ETA - another option is a 3d printed sleeve around the bolt, assuming there's enough room to slip it over an M6 and get to your final ODs.

Yup way I’m leaning too. It’s gotta be better than nothing! And absolutely why I miss my little Sourhbend lathe! I’m sure I can fine some thin wall small tubing and cut it down to make a bush, again maybe a Bic pen body? I can find something that will work. Thanks for your thoughts though!
How thing does it need to be? Something could be 3d printed fairly easily.
54mm the shoulder is like 5/8” at a guess?
Does it just need the thin shoulder up by the bolt head or the narrower shoulder down to the threads as well?
It's just long enough that the plastic is held in place without being crushed.
If you measure it out (accurately) I can 3d print a bushing for that to use with a full thread button head.
Sure. Lemme get the screw and then I’ll give you OD of screw and ID if fender which could also be opened up a bit too?
Thanks!
Thanks!

One more time, then I give up.... use this collar as the bushed area on top of your 6 x 55mm bolt...
Example on a 6mm dia bolt....

Gotcha sorry following this on my 4” IPhone at work. . Not a desktop. Looks like a River nut. Where can I get said bush at?
not trying to reinvent the wheel. Maybe you sent a link earlier but seemed like they were spendy? I may be wrong and freely confess this!

I caught it in post #25 and saved it.
