[QUOTE="Ignacio, post: 155650, member: 434"] I was the lucky guy who got to ride Skooter's maimed FJR back to civilization and got to look things over a bit. I know there has been discussion about the plastic screws holding on the windshield and I can say they worked exactly as planned for this occasion. There were seven "nubs" with thread showing where it seemed obvious that the screw portion of the heads sheared off at impact. The windshield actually remained intact and unbroken for use another day. The W frame looked completely unharmed as well. I can't swear that there is no chance that they could pop off with a +6 windshield at full extension and at FJR nominal speed, but if I had any thoughts of switching them out to metal fasteners....I abandoned that thought this weekend. Partly because I want a windshield breaking off as designed in case of a get-off or an over-the-handelbars Superman....but also because if there had been stronger fasteners in this wreck I think it would have screwed up the W frame. ...just something I thought people might be interested in.
