Also, Patrick, I used blue Loctite....I was concerned that with the red I might never be able to remove them.
It's good you used blue, you can change them one at a time through the fork hole. But where are you going to get them? They're almost custom now. I went on the McLeod support forums http://www.mcleodind.com/forum/index.php and did a search and nothing came up discussing shouldered bolts or their recessed threads. Centerforce goes to great lengths in their literature to tout how their flywheels and PPs have the exact dimensions of OEM components. I didn't find that on the McLeod site. You might post a thread there asking them what they suggest -- I agree using the ARP OEM shouldered bolts are not going to give you a safe amount of threads.
