The nut fell off of the rear bolt on my right saddlebag. I have the bolt and the spacer (nut is gone) and the bolt pulls out fine and slides back in no problem. If I spin the saddle bag up I can reach in and touch the bolt for the front but once I drop the saddle bag down into place I cant reach in and feel the end of the nut.
I will stop by the hardware store and pick up a nut, should I get one of those nuts with the nylon insert of using loctite?
I searched and is this the thing where I need to flex the fender to get my hand up there?
What other bolts, nuts and screws should I regularly check and what should I use locktite on?
I just got the bike and looks like I need to really check everything. I did get an oil change done when I got the cobra bars put on. I will likely do most things myself but just getting back into this so it will be a learning curve all over again.
Thanks for any help
