Kuryakyn Retractable Pass. Pegs and Floorboard Problem
Good afternoon.
5- By-Passes in 1998 and 4-By-Passes in 2005. Doctors retired me and the wife wanted me to have a dream of mine. So in 2006 I bought a brand new 2006 Softail Heritage Classic. My first Harley. What a timewe are having. Everydayhere isablessed day.
I need your suggestions.
I installed a set of Kuryakyn Retractable Passager Footpeg along with the Kuryakyn Brackets for the Harley Passager Floorboards. Looks great and the wife loves the versatility of foot positions. The problem: I can't keep the bolttight. About the third time my 130 lb. wife steps up on the passager floorboard, the 3/8" hex bolt that runs through the frame, the Retractable Passager Footpegs and into the Passager Floorboards comes loose? I use a hex/socket attachment and pull as hard as a 200 lb. 55 year old man can pull. I have even used the blue locktite and the red locktite and the bolt still comes loose. I'm open to your suggestions. Thanks for you help.

Red locktite should do it. Make sure both parts are clean of any oil or stuff. As long as your are torquing it down it should stay. If you need more leverage try a "pipe" extention on your wrench.
