Default loctite question

Hey so I am doing some simple swaps on the bike - horn cover, foot pegs, and toe peg on the shifter. I figured I should use some lactate because of how much everything rattles. Never used lactate before. Should I use red or blue? And if i should not use it please save me from making a moronic mistake!

LACTATE, that's funny. Use blue Loctite.

Lacatate helps you think.

foot pegs have lock nuts on them, no need for Loctite there

Good to know. Still have not taken them off so I didn't already know that.

every thing else blue the red has to be heated sometime and on small fasteners you end up stripping out the heads.

Red is basically for things you never ever want to take apart ever. (not easily)

Blue holds Harley's together nicely.

Blue is plenty strong but not necessary on the pegs as target said. However some people claim lactate helps fight impotence in men!

When the kids were born I tried to breast feed but the babie's head kept getting tin the way!
