Fairing/windshield "rattle"
Was getting some vibration in the windshield and fairing at most rpms.
SoI did the tear the front fairing off and check the braces and brackets that has been disscussed, here on the forums.
They were all ok, so I just tightened up all the fasteners that hold them all together, and now the vibration has gone away.(got anywhere from a 1/8 turn to a 1/2 turn on them)
Since they all mostly go into brass inserts that are installed into the fairing,I am questioning the use of blue threadlocker(Loctite), as I don't want to be stripping out inserts should I need to take the fairing apart.
Thougts?
