Loctite on bolts

[willguy]

Hi,

I saw a lot of people saying the bolts on the Hawk comes out loose after a couple rides. I am wondering if any of you put Loctite on the bolts?

Yessir, After one of my fairing bolts fell out I went through and pulled bolts I could get to and loctite'd them. Definitley worth the trouble!

I like the "Blue Gel Permatex Threadlocker" version

It's the first commandment with China riders . Out of box bikes need virtually all fasteners secured with the stuff. I'm still finding bolts that I never checked only to discover them loose 2 months later, just be wary of it. Not fun to find out when barreling along at 55mph or so. Blue is good stuff makes nuts/bolts slow to move yet removable.
