I was rudely introduced into the mysteries of loctite last week. I had no idea that there are as many loctite colors as there are colors in the rainbow! I orderd and recieved a bracket that allows me to remove my rear left peg but still retain my belt guard - great! I take my trust tools and struggle to take this thing - off - wow its tough! I end up stripping part of the bolt and cussed H-D under my breath for making cheap solft bolts. I removed the entire assembly and at my local H-D dealer, while I was purchasing other rhings, showed them this issue. I could not remove the original peg bracket support from the chainguard. The offered to help, and I gladly agreed. It turns out they also had quite a bit of trouble removing this, and they squarely placed the blame on H-D for putting yellow loctite(!) on this screw. They had to drill this sucker out! It scratched up the peg on the underside a bit - but no too serious. Supposedly, yellow loctite is only used on 4 parts on the entire motorcycle. I had no idea that this stuff even existed!
