loc tight or anti sieze
I usually put loc tight on every thing , bought some Mark IV cruise arms from Kuryakyn and they had two packages of anti seize in the box. Seems like blue loc tight would be better than anti seize. Is there anything on the bike that anti seize would be better to use than loc tight?

Most of the time on aluminum it's best to use anti sieze, or you might pull the threads out when you try to loosen it.

JB Weld works well on everything, nothing ever shakes loose.

Use the santi sieze, if you dont you can gall the threads on the bolts when you are putting them on. Dont ask me how I know this[:@]. Just trust me it is aggravating to be cutting the bolts off with a dremel when you cant tighten them all the way or get them back off.

Unless I'm missing something it depends on the need, Loc tite keeps 'em on, anti-seize helps you get 'em off later.

I used anti-seize on the O2 sensors when I put my pipes on...other then that I can't think of any place I'd use it.
Now blue loctite on the other hand.....any nut or boltI take off gets blue loctite when it goes back on.
