front axle nut retainer
Ok I guess I'm paranoid, but ever since I replaced my fork sliders I worry about the axle nut vibrating loose (yes I torqued to spec and used loctite). I have the willie G axle cover and now often find myself checking to make sure the nut side cover's eyes remain level with the ground...anyone felt the need to drill a hole through the nut and axle and use a cotter pin?

No. Just clean the nut and cover and add a small dab of clear silicone to the cover. If the set screw becomes loose, the silicone will keep it on the axle.
Just re-read your post. If the threads were clean and you waited for the loctite to setup before riding, you're worrying over nothing.
