Do you really need it? Don't blame me if anything falls off, but in around 14000 miles of desert/road/trail and competition, I've only had two parts vibrate loose on my LC4 - one the mounting screw for one of the rubber buffers on which the tank is mounted, and the other was the sidestand. I do however torque every screw to the factory specs, and use the recommended locking fluids detailed in the manual and parts book. The fluids and a torque wrench are easily available.

Threadlock is now too late for me,
I overtightened one of the sidestand nuts yesterday and snapped the thread.
So now I'm looking for a welder. (Don't worry, unlike Charles & Ewan, I will remove the battery first : ) )

You dont need to remove the battery if you weld using gas!!!! But I have to admit, I sat there with horrified thoughts as they happily took their arc welder to a 'complete circuit bike'. Sure enough, it destroyed the electrics....
I have found the loctite in Halfords of all places, next to the inflatable holders and 'ICE'..... 3ml of 271 for 2.99!!! Bargain...
No side stand problems for me.....unless you count the large cut on my leg as the newly welded base plate sliced through my shin as the dumb 'ducati-esk' design auto flicked up!!!
We LOVE bikes!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-))
See you at the weekend,
Dave

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
