I have an aftermarket belly pan on one of my Kats. There are brackets for the belly pan welded onto the bikes frame and at the end of the brackets are some type of inserted nut which sits in the flat metal of the bracket, doesn't look like they are welded in place. One's fallen out so I need to replace it, but I don't know what they are called to go out out and ask for one. Anyone know what they are called?

Looks like it could be a Rivnut or rivetnut. You could also use a rubber fairing or screen nut, they look much the same but tightening the bolt causes the rubber to bulge and hold it in place.

If you take a revetnut for that purpose make sure you buy that special riveting pliers as well...
