Get a long zip tie and thread it through the plug. It is easy to pull the zip tie up through the fender hole without having to put your arm up the fender. After you clip the insert in place, just let the zip tie fall out. Easy Peazy.

Ha. I just read your post. I just posted basically the same thing, but you beat me to it.

Yep - fitted the 762 to the bike tonight. It doesn't go quite flush down to the fender. I guess it sits about 2mm off due to the clip which keeps the captive nut in place. Not very noticeable however and looks fairly tidy. Result!
