Abstract: A mounting hardware and theft deterrent device includes a hand knob; a threaded screw coupled to the hand knob; a U-clip configured to replace a stock retaining clip on a motorcycle frame and for placement on the motorcycle frame to receive the threaded screw coupled to the hand knob and thereby to secure a motorcycle saddlebag to the motorcycle; and a lock washer for placement over the threaded screw coupled to the hand knob before the threaded screw is inserted into the U-clip. The hand knob, threaded screw fixedly coupled to an underside surface of the hand knob, U-clip, and lock washer collectively form the theft deterrent device. The theft deterrent device is configured for utilization to secure a motorcycle saddlebag to a motorcycle frame without a need for any additional installation tools. The theft deterrent device includes a retaining clip to hold the hand knob to the motorcycle saddlebag.

Abstract: A windshield and fairing replacement insert installation tool includes a bolt fastening member, a spacer sleeve, and a knurled thumb nut. The spacer sleeve is rotatably encircled around a shank section of the bolt fastening member while the knurled thumb nut is threadly engaged with a threaded section of the bolt fastening member. The threaded section partially extends below the knurled thumb nut so that the extended portion of the threaded section is able to accept a replacement insert that needs to be placed within the opening of the fairing. The installation tool is then able to firmly and securely drive in the replacement insert into the opening of the fairing without damaging the replacement insert as the spacer sleeve and the knurled thumb nut assist the installation process.
