Stupid question: The wife and I put a hundred and fifty miles on the XB12XT today and when I was tucking the bike into the garage tonight I saw that I'd lost one of the alan screws for the windshield during the ride. Anyone have a "do-it-yourself" fix for this? Or an other than over the counter from the dealer fix for the problem? I've already hit the remaining bolt with lock-tight. Thanks!

It is always a good idea to walk around the bike periodically and check / tighten EVERYTHING. Things have a tendency to shake loose on these bikes. After a while, you will know what things stay put and what things need the occasional snug up.

Try a hardware store like ACE take another with you so you can make sure you get the proper one.
