What Threadlock?
What threadlock do people use for maintaining bolt tightness on Harley's? I'm currently putting a detach sissy bar on my bike and one tech said to use the green and another said to use blue. I'd like peoples opinions and also what they use on other parts of the bike.
Thanks!

Green is for holding bearing fits(not to take up slack in the fit), blue is removeable(with some effort, possibly a little heat), red is considered permanent(although with heat, it can be removed)

Probably can get by with blue on the new bikes. Pans and Knuckles require red. No heat required unless you go nuts with it. I use the stuff that comes in a tube like Chapstick. No waste, a tube lasts a long time and you get it right where you want it.
