Over time I've come up with a cheaper and simpler option than using dzus fasteners. It requires a riv-nut (either metric or SAE), some old bolts to match, some spring clips (in the 1/16 size) and some fender washers.
The riv nut is installed in the backing panel. Cut the head off of the bolt, and drill a 1/16 hole near the end, like you would for safety-wiring. Thread the headless bolt into the riv-nut to the appropriate depth, with the fender washer as a cushion. Insert the spring clip and secure it. Much quicker than bolts -- fairing panels can be "hung" in place on the "stumps" of the headless bolts, and then the washers and clips installed at once.
This is the busy rear subframe -- remote resevoir finally hung out of the way (note cut rubber tube as a cushion), crankcase breather filter. Remote resevoir has hi-and low-speed compression damping!
