ED209 make a booboo, dropped fairing bolt into fairing, cant find.spent hours with magnet sticks and all. Found washer but no bolt. I just knew it would happen, darnit, left my magnet on the table and it happened.
I dropped it on the right side opposite kickstand side. WILL THIS GET INTO RADIATOR ? gulp
ED209 says RED is faster, you have 20 seconds to comply !
Yeaup, we all pretty much did that. I lost the mirror screw when I replaced the windscreen on week two. Never did find it.

Don't beat yourself up too bad, I dropped one or two.
When I had the bike completely apart for cruise and paint, I found them all.
ED209 drop other side too, but found it. ED209 not having good day

Simply enough, which I never though of, but putting my Klockwerks windshield on I watched the video first. It says, stuff a rag under the mirror where you are removing bolts to keep from dropping the bolt into the cowling. I did, and I'm glad. Dropped one one each side to fall about a quarter of an inch into the rag.
Yep, I managed the lose the left fairing bolt EVEN using the rag to block the loss.
