Let me know how well the fairing bolts work. I keep losing them out on the road...seems I'm missing one every other month

Anti-seize is kind of gummy once it sets, and also acts like a mild thread locker, I use it on alot of fasteners to prevent corrosion and gauling, including fairing bolts, and havn't lost any.
And there's always medium/blue thread-locker/loc-tite, that will definately keep them from vibrating loose.
Titanium fasteners will vibrate loose just the same as other materials too, and you especially don't want to be losing those at their price.

I went with aluminum fairing bolt because of that very reason. They are MUCH cheaper than titanium a little bit lighter I think and I won't cry if I loose some. But the finish on then is significantly LESS polished and crispy clean compared to titanium. The titanium shines kinda like chrome

I went with aluminum for fairing bolts, top yoke, and windshield bolts. The yoke is thick enough to put on without damage. The fairing bolts don't need to be too tight and they are prone to fall out and I don't wanna set myself up to get mad if it's titanium. And the windshield is small beans so I went with aluminum.
