How do you repair Harley Davidson fairing for stripped screws that secure the windshield?

Answer 1

I was told that the torque for the threaded insert seat nut will break very easily. I bought a replacement nut and screw from my local HD parts department for $2.85. You'll need to remove the outer flaring. If the threading inside the flaring where the nut seats is stripped, you'll need to set the nut with some plastic cement first. Make sure you've set it straight (you may need to hold the flaring in place to check for hole alignment and be careful not to get the cement on the threading inside of the nut, and clean it out before it dries if it gets inside. After the cement has dried, replace the flaring. The screw should work just like it came from the factory.
