I just changed mine to anodized ones. I think they were M4 (maybe M5).

The purpose of the plastic screws is to allow the windscreen to easily break away from the fairing in case the rider goes over the bars.

I never thought of that. Guess I'll call the dealer. God knows how much 4 plastic screws will cost. I'm assuming you can't run down to the hardware store and by plastic screws.

I've seen them at hardware stores, but they're white. :roll:
