[QUOTE="semongtaulie, post: 1154126, member: 21325"] If memory serves me correctly it was the +3 tall and +4 wide. In all fairness to the shield I did not take the torque wrench to the plastic screws however they were definitely tight when I installed the shield. I've only had a MC for about five years but spent my whole life around tools, shops, etc. so I made sure all fasteners were tight. I can't seem to master posting pics anymore but the strange thing about what happened is the studs of the screws are still sticking out of the tuning blocks. Only the heads sheared off. I just find that strange that all the screws failed in the same way. In the past three years I've had a Calsci large, V-stream, Yamaha Touring shield, Cee Baileys short screen and the OEM screen. Now that I think about, I've always used the same screws. Maybe there is a "shelf life" for those plastic screws or they get weakened from repeated tightening. [/QUOTE]
