Should this be flush?
« on: June 08, 2011, 11:58:58 PM »
Windshield screw for batwing. Other side is pressed in more. Is it normal or pulling out? What do you do to fix?  :nixweiss:

It should be flush. the moco provides replacements. It was screwed in too far and the nut was pulled out.

    I have had this happen on my bikes also.  I placed the tip of my soldering iron on the center of the threaded metal.  Let it warm up the plastic , and it will slip back into place and melt in around the metal piece.  At least it worked for me. Hope this helps.

Stopped at dealer $1.85 for a screw in replacement 16585-96, if they didn't have I definitely would've done your heat method. They actually only had one and my center one is just sticking out, so I may end up using heat for that one. Was a little nervous threading in new one. Thought it might crack the fairing, but it didn't.

Take wax and wax the threads of a bolt making sure to get wax on end of bolt....thread it into the insert........epoxy the insert into the fairing........wait for epoxy to cure......remove bolt.....done

it will also help to lightly tap some threads in the inner fairing to pervent cracking the fairing. a must on older fairings.

I used some good 2 part epoxy and it's been as as good as new after that.
