    Hi

    Can anybody advise how tight I should do the bolts holding the screen? (Honda CBF)

    I've guessed at tightening them and then slackening off a bit to allow a little flexing. No idea if this is right though.

    Any advice gratefully accepted.

    Personally i wouldn't allow for any movement as there are just as likely to loosen and fall out, if its the rubber type fixings just tighten them up as normal, i usually apply a little grease to the thread to allow for easy removal

    I tend to use an oxide inhibiting paste we get at work, copaslips ok, but i wouldn't use it on alum fittings due to the reaction between dissimilar metals
