Okay guys I was wondering if you could help me out. Once you read this and then stop laughing maybe post up where I went wrong...

I got my headlights back and put everything back together, headlight assembly, front plastics, upper & lower side plastics ...

Problem 1 - I have 2 extra screws (identical but could not find where there are screws missing, anywhere)

Problem 2 - My Coolant Cover the lower screw will not tighten (most likely stripped the inside threads)

Problem 3 - I can't find my screws for my windscreen - Can I order just the screw?

Okay can anyone help me out?

I figured that much. The screw is fine so how do I fix it? Could I just get a nut to fit the back of it and try that?

The nut on the back would work, but it will be a bitch to get to and hold while you turn the screw. If I am not mistaken, there is a clip that clips onto the coolant bottle that is threaded. I would recommend just buying that clip and fixing it the right way. If you have extra screws, they more than likely go to the front "dash", the big black piece behind and on both sides of the speedo that hold all of the upper together. It's kind of hard to explain. I had to replace the whole front fairing and I had 2 extra screws on mine, come to find out there were two screws a little lower than the ram air tubes I had forgot about. They weren't in plain sight. Like mentioned already, you can just order the screw. My dealership told me it would take a couple weeks to get them, so I ordered them off of bikebandit.com for like .60 a piece. Got them in 3 days. Good luck.

Thanks a ton! I'll check out the lower section under the ram air. I don't think I looked there. I will also check out the web site!

Thanks again!! :mrgreen:
