Default screw loose

Haven't washed the bike in quite a while, pretty cold stretch of winter but caught a break last night and it was above 60 so after work I gave her the once over and I'm glad I did. Hit one of the V&H fishtail tips with the wash rag and it almost fell off. They are held on with two screws and one was gone and the other one was on its way. Note to self, check stuff more often

Yep. I've had screws vanish from my sissy bar on my low rider. Makes one hell of a racket when downshifting...
