I used loc-tite on everything on my Harley. Should I use loc-tite or Nylocks on this T-Bucket?

Thanks, guys

If your T-Bucket is balanced to the Richter Scale like your Harley, use both.

Well, I hope it will be smoother than the Harley.

Ditto. I have also been known to use castle nuts/cotter pin or drill and wire.

although heat is exactly what's used to release locktight's grip.
I use nylock nuts everywhere unless the nut is to be welded on, in which case I use a lock washer under the head of the bolt. very seldom do I use locktight on any chassis part.

Same here. Nylocks everywhere I can, loctite where I can't. Castle nuts and cotterpins on the tie rod ends.

I once had two bolts (blind bolts, no nuts) that held my front calipers to the mounting bracket, work their way OUT!! on the freeway at over 70MPH I noticed that a caliper was missing, if you think that did not put the trust back on God for me, you would be mistaken... I know that wire tying blind bolts is by far the best and safest, and just why I have not done it as yet... it's far beyond me, lazy I guess... and it does not look that great right there... but when I get back to long distance rides, that will happen...
