Loctite and brass?

Monkeyman · 03-12-2012, 02:48 AM

I had to add a few washers between the upper bolt holes and the bracket on the batwing (to space it out) so I could fit my gauges. The bolt inserts are brass. Is there any reason I CAN'T use Loctite? With the brass inserts, I don't want to crank down too much on the bolts but it would be unsightly for the fairing to come flying off @ 70mph. Also, which is the more temporary Loctite? Blue or red? Again, because of the brass, I don't want to strip any threads if I ever need to loosen the bolts.
