Did the inside portion tear off when you removed them? If so, remove one airbox bulkhead door under the fuel tank. You can reach toward the back where the 90 degree angle catch trough is runs left to right before the air filter. Pick them out.
Those wellnuts (or any well nut) break when you tighten them too much.. All you need is finger tight on a wellnut, maybe a half turn more on the larger ones. Just enough to squeeze the grommet a little bit. The rubber absorbs the the vibes ansd the screws won't loosen under the slight tension of the rubber. Use blue locktight on the non-wellnut fasteners such as the ones at the botom of the lowers. Those come loose. NEVER use loktite on a well nut or the grommet might just spin when you try to remove the screw.
