Default '09 Crossbones Windshield Quick Detach Q

I just finished installing the quick detach mounting hardware for the Harley Quick Detach Windshield, installed perfect , no hiccups...


How tight should the quick disconnect bolts be? Just enough to snug the washer against the rubber grommet?

They need to be fairly tight but don't not over tiight. As you can see there really isn't a whole lot holding the windshield on. Never have had a problem with mine,yet, but it is a littlle concerning on windy days....

+1 there are only two on each side. I put the shorter windshield with black hardware and smoked shield on the wifes. Turned out good.
