the airbox base screw is BUELL PART # CA0018.02A8
the lower cowling & front fender attachment screw is BUELL PART # CA0012.02AB
BOTH PART NUMBERS ARE 1/4-20 SIZE....TORX....DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PART # IS THE LENGTH.
so a butcher ran a 24 thread-count screw into a 20 thread-count hole?
YES....more harm than good.
NOT being overly-critical here but that's a clear sign of an idiotic "hammer mechanic" working on your bike. if it were mine...and i say this out of concern for your health and safety...i would check every single fastener on that entire bike for similar miscues/damage.....particularly BOTH AXLES AND PINCH BOLTS FOR SAME.
