[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1154056, member: 3828"] When I purchased my lightly used (at that time) '05, the previous owner had replaced a bunch of the faring screws with some bling blue alloy hardware, including the 7 windshield screws. Folks on this very forum convinced me of the safety benefits of the breakaway screws in the event of a crash. Realizing that the shield is supported by so many fasteners, I figured that there was a reason for that, and that all seven of those screws would need to be in good shape to support a jumbo shield in the cold months I bought a package of 100 nylon screws online for about the cost of seven from yamaha, so now I can periodically swap out the screws when switching back and forth between winter and summer height windows. The screws are white, not gray like the originals, but that doesn't particularly bother me and at least they are no longer blue... ;) [/QUOTE]
