The leaf spring tension screw, bottom of front grip strap. I see it in both photos.

The '6 screw' screw count is only relative to the I frame and only included in the screw count because with the coil spring Improved I frame as Froggie posted, it's eliminated as are the 5th and 4th screws later on. The 6 screw count terminology distinction was first recognized and initiated by Froggie. And hopefully included in the edits to SCSW 4th edition due out this spring.

The tension screw (6th screw) is never eliminated on the K & N frames, therefore not included in their screw count; only the 5th and 4th screws are eliminated on those frame sizes.
