After shredding the cam belt I brought the beast to a bike shop where we put it right and the mechanic had absolutely no qualms about using Locktite on that part at all despite what S&S advises. That was 10,000 miles ago and the belt and all else are just fine.

So If there is no alternative this will work.

What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
