The instructions for HD's docking hardware calls for red loctite on those four bolts. If it was my wife on the back, I wouldn't skip that step. Loctite is saying localized heat of approximately 480 degrees fahrenheit is required for disassembly, so it would likely take longer than a couple of minutes to remove the hardware.
Red only because it's supposed to be a permanent mount; however, and it's just my opinion, Blue is completely fine.
Whats funny is that HD doesn't even call for thread locker on footboards, handlebars or the seat and those are pretty important.
Plus there are four bolts doing the job and you'd know any one of them were loose as soon as you put your back against it.
I doubt anyone is going to fall off the bike because you didn't use Red. To each their own though. Just sayin.
