15 Touring
I am working on a 15 touring and I have a question about the windshield frame. The swivel bolt on my frame has a round head with no slot and goes inward with a nut on the inside, others I have seen have the head of the bolt on the inside and a nut on the outside. I have two windshield frames and one swivel bolt has a slot for a flat screw driver also with the nut on the inside. What is correct?

Round bolt with slot goes on the inside with springs. The nut goes on the outside along with the loop for top hook and cotter pin.
Sometimes windshield hinge parts get mis-matched.

Re: 15 Touring
Keith is definitely correct about the bolt/nut orientation, however, after snagging my hand on the castle nut and cotter pin too many times, I reversed it and put the nut on the inside.
