I'll be the oddball and pass on the screws.  I have a Sears Hardware by my house that I have used to replace a ton of hardware on my GS.

Not neccesarily. If you do this.
Cut off the 4 fender to brace bolt heads. Careful here, dont heat up the thing, you can spray water etc and get it to stay cool as well as use a thin blade that takes off very little material and hence doesn't make much heat.
Then separate the fender and the brace and remote the fork leg bolts and remove the fender.
Then fit the new brace on the legs, put the fender on the wheel in position, put 2 sided emblem tape on the fender or the brace but leave the backing on, thread long zip ties through the holes, pull off the backing off the tape and put it in place and pull the zip ties tight. Done.
OK not 5 mins ... but not the whole enchilada like pulling the wheel either. One more Idiotic design if you ask me.
Cool.
