Author Message   Dean Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 04:23 pm:        thanks for your suggestions! dean   Froggy Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 04:38 pm:        None   Dean Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 04:44 pm:        thanks froggy... putting the front wheel back on now...   Froggy Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 05:47 pm:        I'm not saying it is right, but I've been doing it for years, 5 ZTL equipped Buells (some with 6 pot, some 8), and out of all the things to happen I've never had an issue with the caliper bolts. I don't know the torque spec either, I just good-n-snug them with my frail nerd arm strength.   Dean Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 06:03 pm:        well i've done 32 lbs ft & it felt just right. wearing a shinko 009 raven & ebc hh brakes now. 7300 miles - 1500 since i rode it out of centerville, ohio on the 12th of april. really enjoying it. caleb, the po, a really good man...he needs to try trials riding with his young sons. about the best road bike i've ridden, seriously & will greatly improve with a palmer or mad stad soon...   Hughlysses Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 07:15 pm:        The book calls for red; I generally use blue. I think the use of red Loctite for a lot of stuff must be based on what the lawyers say, as opposed to any actual technical requirements. I mean the book calls for red Loctite for the front fender bolts!   Rwven Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 07:24 pm:        I use blue on everything...'cuz I don't have any red....   Windrider Posted on Friday, May 18, 2012 - 01:02 am:        Blue. Only use red one things that you think you will never remove again.   Uly_man Posted on Friday, May 18, 2012 - 12:45 pm:        Whatever that "stuff" is that they build the bikes with its a total nightmare. Ok it might be needed on some engine parts but its not on most anything else. Nasty Fe+king, crappy, %$£%%^^%^^&&**. Rant done.   Skifastbadly Posted on Friday, May 18, 2012 - 01:53 pm:        Never used anything on the calipers. But then, I went to the store once without my armored pants, so anyone who would not be ATGATT cannot be trusted, obviously.   Buellerxt Posted on Friday, May 18, 2012 - 01:59 pm:        A definite indication of a lack of good sense, Ski; for sure. Thanks. I'll be much more careful in considering your recommendations in the future. Red or blue? Either neither or blue.
