3 Extra screws... Really? HAPPY FRIDAY
So I'm hoping you find this somewhat amusing and can add to this as well. I took several body panels off my 2011 RT, changed the oil, checked fluids, cleaned really good behind or underneath (because I'm a neat freak). Only thing I didn't do was put the same screws I took off (said panel) with that panel as I worked. I put them in a large pile on my work bench and then grabbed what I needed to re-assemble the bike. at the end I had 3 extra screws. "WHAT", so I took panels off again here and there to see if I missed a screw or two. Could not find anything missing.
Took bike for a ride and everything seems tight and no issues. So am I alone in this conundrum? Has this happened to you at all??
Thanks
Rich
Not looking for an answer :)
I know where the screws will go once I enventually find a missing one. I just thought it to be funny that I was very careful re assembling and still have 3 extra.
Nice to know I'm not alone and others have one or two until the next tear down of our Plastic. :D
Do they go along the front of the left saddlebag?
As I recall when changing oil on our 2011 I usually removed the left long panel to get easy access to the trans filter, etc. When I removed the three screws in the black saddle bag (hidden by the lid), I usually placed them in the open lid close to where they went back. Just a thought. I have also managed to accumulate a few spares as well as some new replacements especially for the black pushpin fasteners that get mangled after a while.
