Default 08 Ultra Windshield
Dealer had to remove the windshield so I could load my new Ultra into the U-Haul trail (long story...very..very long story). Noticed these 3 bolts to the fairing that secure the windshield aren't phillips screws but something else. What are they? Allen? Hex? Torx? Also what size I need to do them. Once I know it's off to get the right tool and put the windshield back on. Thanks for any/all help!

after you put the windshield back on, be sure to recheck the screws after about 100 miles. They have a tendency to loosen.
