The recent "Painful" acident topic brought to start this topic.
My 1st bike ('79 Yamaha 500 twin) was a highway commuter, so I got a windshield that mounted with plastic or nylon machine screws (small bolts).
My '05 ex500 has steel screws/nuts for windscreen, mirrors & fairing.
Should we replace the steel w/ the nylon?
In an accident letting the fasteners stretch/break would generally reduce damage to bike & body alike.
If you have any experiences or expertise with such please share.
Seems like nylon screws & nuts are even available at Lowes & such.
