Default Road Glide Windshield Screws
Probably little chance of this, but does anyone know the spec of the 5 black screws that secure the 2009 Road Glide windshield? I switch between a short and a tall screen on a regular basis -- the phillips heads on the screws just aren't going to hold up for long. I'm hoping to find an equal thread/length screw with a Torx or Hex head.

Thanks!

Remove one and take it to a hardware store. I picked up replacement hex heads at Home Depot. They were about a quarter inch longer but worked just fine.

I just got back from doing exactly that, and was going to reply with what I found!

They are 10-32 X 1" machine screws. The hardware store sold some that are stainless - button head socket (hex) cap screws. Now I'll search the Internet for some black ones.
