windshield nuts and bolts
windshield nuts and bolts Yes. But I'd recommend a TINY bit. Some things do nasty stuff to bike shields. I don't know if Loctite is one of them but I'd prefer not to find out. On second thought, dab a little on your shield and let us know, OK? :mrgreen:
windshield nuts and bolts Mine too worked loose, as well as many of the nuts and bolts over time. I personally don't use locktite on the windshield bolts, but checked and snugged them up several times during the season. As far as how tight, I tighten them tight enough not to work loose too soon, but loose enough not to crack the windshield, hows that for a politically correct, no answer answer. Sorry about that, but seriously, I would call it firm tight, but not cranked tight or it will crack the windshield. I like the nylon lock nuts better, because they remove easier if needed predictably and locktite is sometimes a bear to remove regardless of the type you use.
windshield nuts and bolts A good hardware store should have SS nylocks but if they don't as mentioned above use blue loctite.
windshield nuts and bolts Thanks, it appears the others do have locktite or similiar product. My dealer did supply me a replacement and a couple of extras.
windshield nuts and bolts Use blue lock tite.
windshield nuts and bolts A good dealer uses locktite. I found out the hard way. It was hard to find replacements bolts. Check your bike over on a regular basis.
windshield nuts and bolts I replaced a lost acorn nut on my c50 windshield. I checked several others to see if they were tight and discovered all turned without much effort. The windshield was installed when I bought the bike about a year ago. Can anyone tell me how tight these should be and would you recommend lock tight or similar product to keep them from getting loose again?
