Arrow Pivot Bolt Threadlock Question?
Fellas,
I recently removed the "nut" side of my Pivot Bolt to install a side mount plate. I put it back on and cranked it down very well, but did not put threadlock on it. I dont have a service manual for my 07 fxstb, so don't know if it requires threadlock. Can anyone shed light for me, am I ok, or does it need threadlock?
