I even use it on the mufflers on my Ultra because you cannot remove the rear tire without removing the left muffler.

I got a crash course in anti sieze 101 during a pre run for the Baja 1000 in the 70's. I buy it by the big bottle and go through more of it than anyone I know.

Does anyone remember the Purolator commercial, "Pay me now or pay me later"? The same holds true for antisieze and spark plugs, head bolts, exhaust systems, and a few other places where electrolysis can occur.

As said before, its cheap insurance. Use it on any bolt or nut you feel you might have a need to remove sometime in the future

Man, this gets confusin. Put locktite on the bolts so they dont fall off. Use anti seize so they dont freeze. Maybe I can just mix them up in one goop.

The trick is knowing when to use loctite and when to use antisieze. Only experience can teach you that lesson

Go ahead... use loctite on your spark plugs. I double dare you.

NGK's come with a coating to prevent galling and corrosion in aluminum heads, a lube of some kind should be used on all other brands. Lock-Tite for spark plugs, kinda like Ben-Gay for hemorrhoids.

I have allways used it. Very slight amount though. New plugs I don't because I was told it has something on them from the factory.

I know some people that are apparently using Lock-Tite for their hemorrhoids...

I've always used anti-seize on spark plugs. Less work than installing a heli-coil. A little goes a long way -- you don't need to glop it on threads, just a light film will do.
