- March 30, 2013, 19:49:14 PMNice Drifter1, I like the look of your bike. The engine guard looks great on it.
I emailed Ted back in the early part winter and he was down south and put me on his pending list for one of the racks. I haven't heard from him since. Let us know what you find out.

lol you did this alone or did Aiden and your brother help you?....Bike is looking good, did you say you had a rear fender carrier coming from Ted?
LMAO.....Ratman it was like two teenager's in this house this morning.I droped the bar off to my brother's place during the week with my truck after work because he just got his tank back from being painted so we figured we could do both projects at his house then go for a ride when the weather broke.So this morning I had to ride the Drifter over to install it.Now being I ride solo seat Aidan insisted he would follow with "HIS"bobber...LOL.For awhile there(during the argument)you would of thought I was arguing with my brother not a 6 yr. old....man it was hillarious,till we woke up the miss's

- February 25, 2013, 19:39:27 PMAs ratman says...Blue allows for removal with handtools, red requires heat to remove the part, and green can be applied after you assemble the part. It makes its way between the threads and acts like red loctite at that point. So use blue.

- February 25, 2013, 16:36:27 PMeasy way is that locktite is to keep parts together and not to separate due to vibration. Blue is for items you would like to take apart by hand tools, red is more permanent and harder to take apart........

- February 25, 2013, 15:45:35 PMQuoteJust out of curiousity what is the difference in the fifteenth Colorado loctiite?
ok never heard of it, or what it is.
I put the plastic caps in with black silicone as I said before but did it off the bike to just make it easier. I'll have to check out the pegs idea later once I have it out and riding about....

- February 25, 2013, 01:09:10 AMThank you for all the help. The horn mount has bolts is it right now so I am under the impression that I can reuse those. If not I will figure something out. This is my first go at working on a bike, but I am reasonably mechanically inclined. Just out of curiousity what is the difference in the fifteenth Colorado loctiite?

- February 24, 2013, 18:55:14 PMIt never hurts to use locktite... just ensure you use BLUE and not RED or Green.

- February 24, 2013, 02:39:20 AM Ok well that will leave you something less to do. Just make sure the holes are not stripped and will take bolts. I used loctite on any nuts/bolts I remove....(old Harley riding habits die hard) Just remember that that Guido's guard is to be loose mounted first, once all the bolts are started and the everything is lined upo then snug them up tight.
Also remember to install the end caps with silicone, I used black just because it was handy and mine is a black front end.
