If you'd rather sit at your computer and let UPS come to you, you can order them from [http://www.desmoparts.com/ducati/wellnut/wellnut.htm Desmo Parts] or [http://www.casporttouring.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CST&Product_Code=14013&Category_Code= Ca Sport Touring].

The part number and description is: 92015B 92015-1757 NUT,WELL,5MM So, you need 5mm Well Nuts. You may find them labeled 10s, c-550 and/or j1032. Well Nuts are very common for installing windshields, so you should be able to find them in generic baggies at motorcycle shops, too.
