Note to self - Add the True-Track bolts to the "critical fasteners" lists...

ps: I don't have a True-Track yet but will definitely be adding one sometime.

Vic, so it just loosened up and fell off?

...Or forget to use Loctite.

Yeah, following a 7-day trip I washed the bike, only to discover that the fasteners on the front exhaust pipe were WAY loose, and had created a small burn-mark. Also found the switch housing loose on the handlebars.

Note: check w/ McMaster-Carr.
