• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

F4 Custom windshield - any idea of bracket bolt size/thread?

Hello all, I have bought and installed the f4 customs windshield on my F3. While riding around though, one of the black bolts that holds the crossbar fell out and went plink plink plink all the way to never finding it again. Anyways, I leave for a trip on Tuesday and need to replace it. Any idea what size and threading it is that I need? Should or could I even put ones in that are a tad longer? I could’ve sworn I had them in good and tight. Way is life though. 😔

Thank you all!

Can u take the other one for comparison to Lowes/Home Depot or any good hardware and find a replacement? Most of these can size what you have.
 
I was looking through Lowe’s today, but they don’t have any black head ones in stainless. So if someone knew I was gonna try to order some on one or two day delivery from Amazon.

Sorry I can't help with any more info/details re your original request, but maybe you could get a stainless bolt or two of the appropriate size/thread from Lowe's and also buy a can of black spray paint?? :dontknow: I resorted to doing that to cover the shiny chrome heads on the screws holding my RT's windscreen on after I'd changed out all the chrome fittings for black fittings and the correct coloured bolts weren't included with the new black parts! :sour:

Once I got the bolts & paint, I stuck the bolts heads up in a bit of cardboard torn off a box lid, and voila, it only took a few extra $$ and a couple of minutes work, then 30 odd minutes drying/hardening time before I had the 'all black windscreen fittings' that I wanted! :ohyea:

Over to you! :thumbup:
 
Since you are leaving on Tues. and may not find the bolts in black, just replace with the stainless and look for black on your trip. Ride Safe.
