Loose Windshield Screws
I added a windshield bag today and discovered my center windshield screw was about to fall off, could turn it by hand. I ended up tightening them all after I installed it. My bike has 2700 miles on it and the windshield was installed when it was new. I guess this needs to be added to the list of critical fasteners to check. I have a Low Profile King windshield on mine. If you have not checked yours for a while you may want to inspect it.

Yep that is definitely a good thing to keep a periodic check on. I used the Blue Loctite while I had my windshield and it seem to help this condition.

I agree with ACCHD a little blue loctite make's a big difference.

Ditto that. Lots of vibration at the windshield.

You need to also check your mounting bolts on the tripple tree. I used RED there.
