I haven't had the windscreen off of my ST, but if it mounts like other
fairing windscreens on bikes I've owned, there is a good reason to keep
the cheapo plastic OE screws. If you ever end up separating from your
ST in an unplanned forward motion, it is better to have the plastic
screws break, therefore releasing the windscreen, than for you to get
hung up on the windscreen that is being firmly held by some titanium
screws.
