Lock Patch?
Hey guys,
I bought a chrome kit for my EGS. Went today to get the hardware since they don't include it with the kit..(of course)..I went with all 12 point chrome bolts..cost me a fortune but iI think it's going to look great.
My question is, in the Parts catalog under hardware it states the size bolt then it says "w/Lock Patch"....what is "Lock Patch". I think it is a washer because most of the stock hardware on the bike that has this description has a washer (not a lock washer). Could it be Loctite?
If it is a washer, is it needed on the 12 point chrome bolts? I ask this because the 12 pt bolt head sits on an outer rim that is part of the bolt head.
The parts that call for a bolt "w/Lock Patch" are Trans Top Cover, Cam Cover, Primary, Trans Side Cover, and Rocker Box Cover.
Thx for your help

So on the original hardware that has washers, is the 12 pt bolt alone okay to use for the install?
