    I'm losing bolts like crazy these days...

    What kind of bolts/screws were used to fasten the chin fairing to the frame? I have both stainless hex and torx screws...I should say, had both...lost a few and would like to re-fasten it properly. Maybe use locktite this time.

    I also notice I have a broken off bolt at the front of the can...I take it there were two bolts screwed directly in, unlike the rivets on the rest of the fairing?

    yes to the last question

    other than that, the fairing is held on with the same bolts that hold together everything else on the body: T27 shouldered bolts

    I use Loctite 265 or 270 on same assemblings as I had the same problems. 270 use carefull as its then hard to open the connection. 265 is mainly ok... Do not mix stainless and carbonsteel&zink plated fittings, the corrosion can be realy exessive.
