Ok, so they are bolts, but, as I was washing my bike last night, i notice my front fender was wigglin' back and forth like a virgin on prom night. Upon closer inspection, the damn bolts are missing. Must've rattled out. The right bolt also supports the brake line clamp. Has anyone else made this gruesome discovery yet? I've only had the bike since March. Can't wait to see what else falls off. Anyway, the dealer is mailing me the bolts.

Might wanna check yours if you haven't already. Don't forget some loctite in there.

Nah, my nuts are doing fine. I might even clean them for this weekend.

That's the first time I've heard of that problem. My nuts are tight. So are the bolts that hold my fender on.

I lost one a couple of months ago and still have not bothered to replace the lost one yet. I just make sure the one I've got is tight before each ride.

I was hoping for awesome answers such as these! I knew it was a funny topic to throw out there. With all of the problem/issues i read about here, it's nice to have a little 'nutty' fun now and then! : )

I had put loctite on my nuts as well. The excess will wash off after a few showers.
