Default Loctite on fairing bolts
I'm installing a HD 1/4 fairing with Bung King and HD quick release. Should I be using Loctite on all these bolts? Thanks

Use nylock nuts and you don't have to, clean and simple.

I would use Loctite on all bolts and screws on a motorcycle due to the excessive vibrations associated with it. Lock nuts can help but that is only if a nut is present. A tube of Loctite in a saddlebag or toolbox is a much simpler solution. Plus you don't have to go out and find the right sized lock nuts. Just remember, Loctite comes in different flavors. Blue is for bolts and screws you want to be able to remove again and Red is for ones you won't remove again.
