1992 Fatboy headlight bolt breaking

 4 times in 1 year my friends headlight bolt broke. Its the factory set up.
Anyone else have this problem and if so what did you do to cure it.

My fault, I was just coming back in to mention we have tried 2 number 5
bolts and now the second number 8 broke on him today in Sturgis. I was on
the phone with him when I posted this. Rapid City Harley didn't have a
answer for him they just easy outed the bolt and put a new one in like we
have done 3 other times. The bike is smooth to ride so its not like its
vibration is causing a problem.

He was hoping someone new of a bracket that had a bigger platform that would
support it better, maybe even a two hole style for two bolts. The way it
looks were going to have to look for a smaller headlamp.

A little pricey.

Otherwise I have nothing really useful for you.

I'm thirsty.

Oh yes, a round for the house.

He is thinking about a new head lamp, a smaller lighter one I'll show him
these when he gets back.
