Not a Dzus fastener, they look like this

More of an automotive push and turn clip.

yes, thx,  tried them - no luck

ok otherwise OCT have the Zane fairing fasteners threads on either side of rubber grommit.

Nunzi Fasteners unless Rubber Grommets implemented will Crack Body Shells due to Vibration - That's why I tent to use good old fashion Bolts & Lock Nuts with appropriate Sized Washers along with Rubber Grommets & Sleeved Bolt Mounts for Isolation. Design and make them yourself. Discarded Golf Club Shafts work perfect for Bolt Sleeves (Because they are stepped and fit various Bolt Shank Diameters) with Stainless Steel Bolts, Washers & Lock Nuts and tight fitting Rubber Grommets. Allen Bolt Heads work Nicely.

These ones will work well, available in various colours too!

funny thread that, is it suzuki?

Not Suzuki Cosi, Australian Coarse Thread. Commonly called, "Make The Bastard Fit"

That is not a standard Sprint fitting.

Without some form or cushioning, you will end up with cracked and shitty fibreglass around all of your fasteners on a Sprint fairing, as has been said. 
I've used o-rings since new, and while it hasn't stopped the damage, its nothing like as bad as the lower rear mountings where you can only get the o-rings on one side of the fixing. O-rings fit quite nicely under the extended, shaped washers you often find (and were original in plastic of some description - well, at least on ours.  Fiddly, but worth the small amount of time involved.
