I had problem with my Cee Bailey in which is slip down...posted on this already. I took it apart....the panels, the front part, etc. the prior well nuts were compressed to junk. The top bolts slipped down and the bottom did the same.
I got well nuts from Honda dealer. I am not able to secure it to bike. The well nuts on top slip down then bottom do the same when I start to tighten them. I am holding it secure entire time. The design has it that their is nothing to hold, support them from slipping down. The washer in front does nothing to support them. It is just rubber that keeps it from slipping. This seems like it will be a recurring problem. I did not place any foam for support on it before. Was planning on placing after I bolted on. Also took off mra screen for install.
I know over tightening is not the the answer. Any help on this is greatly appreciated. This set up does make sense to me. There is nothing bracing or holding the screen up. All the force is on the rubber well nuts.
What am I missing??
Updated: use different well nuts. Seems to hold. Not sure if I over tighten the well nuts. It was a pain to remove one speaker panel because dealer put a light sensor for my headlight modulator on it. Had to cut a tie deep in to get slack on wire so I can remove panel. Not a good place to put it. This is lots of work to get access to those bolts.
I hope it holds , but worry this happens again. I put foam in as instructed by others.
Not happy with this situation. What a pain.
