just using this pic as a example: 152956
those 5 half-bolt half-stud keep coming loose on my 83 X. ive tried everything... loc-tite, lots of torque on the nuts, etc. and the bolts keep coming loose. they haven't fallen off, but they are starting to run into my swinger, causing damage to the bolts, nuts, and my swinger. im fed up and just thinking about welding the bolts to the sprocket. but before i do anything major, i wanted to know what you guys think i should try and if you have ever had this problem before.
PS: the sprocket is an aftermarket one, and the part that keeps the bolts from turning has been rounded out too
