Default Anybody ever have this happen to your scoot?

After retuning from my Colorado trip I noticed an unusual rattling sound I wasn't familar with. It turned out to be the recifier was about to fall off because the mounting bolts were about to fall out. There are no lock washers on the bolts, are there suppose to be?

Same thing happened to my 2000 fxd with about 15k on the clock . I will go around and check fasteners on occasion but I know I missed that one . Blue loctite should do the trick . Surface prep is everything with loctite surfaces must be totally clean .

He is gone now. Let me be clear on the VTX Rider Trolls we have had attack the board lately. I have nothing against VTX's or VTX owners. We have several members here who ride VTX's. Hell, ****** was riding with a VTX riding HDF member when he went down and we all know how that turned out. Trolls from other forums that come here to cause troble will be banned so fast that their heads will spin.
