So I've had my Busa for about seven weeks and I recently noticed the left grip end is missing... like, gone. It just fell right off the bike. The screw holding that thing on must have been loose. I called the dealership and explained my issue with parts falling off a brand new bike and asked if it was covered by the warranty. They said no, but they decided to ship me a replacement anyway because "parts shouldn't just fall off a bike". They did good by me and I'm happy about it.
Now comes my question; does anyone have experience putting that thing back on? The one on my right handle looks like it has a screw with a smooth head on it, no place to fit a screwdriver to set it. How should I go about fastening the replacement grip end so it does not come off again? I don't feel I'll be able to get it tight in there and I don't trust some Loctite to hold it indefinitely. I suppose I could go to the hardware store and find a similar screw with a slotted or Philips head, but I thought I'd check with your guys first.
Suggestions?
