Leary about letting anyone touch my bike again
Passenger backrest had been coming loose for the last couple months so I would tighten it,noticed it had three bolts that were torx and one for a allen wrench so it looks like when I took it in to get the fender replaced after I was hit the dealer must have lost one and during the ride today it got loose and was driving me nuts with the squeek so it came apart when I got home . The non matching bolt was of a different thread count and the lower bolt on that side had broken so off it came and had to drill that bolt out and will be getting 4 chrome bolts at the hardware store that will be able to be tightened with a wrench and not torx or allens,I know it was nothing major but when it requires a 1/4 20 bolt put one back in and not a metric or 1/4 28 or what ever it was. I should have put some loctite on the bolts but wanting to get a rack that bolts there and will do it when I get one but the new bolts will go on with lock nuts for.now,one would think that someone who works for a dealer would be able to get a bolt with the correct thread count.
