Get'cha an Airforce blow dryer to blast the water out of the bolt cavities after washing/rain-riding etc. Welllll worth the money. 06 and STILL no rust!
Assuming your tanny's the same as mine (06 K9), "Apply Loctite 2440 to screw threads and reinstall top cover. Torque screws to 9 ft lbs." Straight from the BD service manual.
Good luck and good ridin, bro!!
