Thanks to all for suggestions regarding the instruments, as well as help with the shop manual.
One I had the front fairing off, I could see the center bolt had backed all the way out (due to vibration?) and the lower one was a little loose. Once the whole bracket was detached from the frame to allow access it was a simple matter of tightening things up again.
Of course a post op shakedown ride was required given it was 74 F here in NC yesterday ;-)
