[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 1154014, member: 434"] Many times. And many times the windshield has popped off instead of contributing to damage to the rider or destruction of the windshield because of the deliberate design and specific tightening specifications. Haven't heard of any at speed though. I'm remembering back to the first time I got that Yamaha specifically designed the windshields to come off under certain conditions and fully endorse unloctited stock fasteners torqued correctly and all in place after [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/12743-windshield-fasteners/?hl=windshield"]one particularly infamous get-off[/URL] in 2006. No damage to the rider, the windshield, or the bracketry. In your case I'd first wonder about what pieces you've added to the stock configuration (Rifle stuff) and think hard on whether the way you've installed is somehow compromising the intended design in any way. Second, I ride with a barn door type windshield too and have gotten some extreme buffets and cringed. Although I haven't had a windshield pop I've grabbed it before and held it until I was clear of the zone of death I didn't want to be in with the semi anyway. Sure people can change to metal fasteners, but do it only if you want to second guess what Yamaha engineers designed on purpose. [/QUOTE]
