Ahhhhh, thanks guys, but I just can't do that. I would look at it every time I walked up to my bike. It would be like a pimple on your forehead. Besides, I think it will start rusting and peeling chrome in no time.
I got a gift card for Christmas and wasn't quite sure what to spend it on, but I know what it's going for now.

That happened to me several years ago on a group ride. As we were exiting the freeway for a gas stop, I noticed my left highway peg was gone. When we got to the gas station I noticed several of the guys were gathering around the guys bike who was right behind me, so I went over to see what was going on. His headlight was shattered and in the reflector material on the inside of the sealed beam was a reverse impression of my highway peg design. Ahhh, geeeeeze that really made me feel like a heel, but then another group was gathering around the BMW that had been following two bikes behind me. His radiator had been punctured by the broken glass from the first bike.

I use blue permatex threadlocker on almost every thread. Those that don't get the blue (medium) threadlocker, get teflon tape, teflon paste, or in the rare instances that the manual calls for it, red (permanent) threadlocker.

I'm stuck on loctite 243. you dont have to be such a neet nick to use it. 242 works best on clean threads. 243 is good with clean or oily threaded screws.
seems 242 leaves a residue that can build up in blind holes.
too funny not to mention...I've gotten some third world parts lately that they have used hot glue on the threads after fasteners were tight. it worked.
