I have a 1973 BSA 441 Victor. Every single nut, bolt or screw on my bike has never-seez on it, and I never try to unscrew any of them with a philips head screwdriver. I use a hand impact tool all the time... It still has all the original screws and none of the heads are rounded out. It's the perfect combination for Stainless Steel and Aluminum.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
