I don't even use red on my hardtail Harley Chopper.......blue is all I have ever needed to keep things from coming loose, and I've ridden it over 75k miles in the time I have owned it.


Red has its place.....I just haven't been there. I think the people that use the red (non-mechanics) are of the school of thought "if a little is good then more is better."
