I thought my sprocket bolts were locking nut types. Never had a problem, as long as I check em at the same frequency as my spokes.
BTW, your local dealer can get FMF fatty pipes for 98+ 380's for $99 from Parts Unlimited. Should be able to get it for $125 or so after dealer makes his markup.
I like the FMF fatty better than the burly/gnarly as it doesn't crack as easy....
Tell your dealer to check the new "hard parts" closeout PU catalogue.

This is true. There are locknuts. The cheap ones with the nylon insert. I found out the hard way that you can't trust em. I lost all but one on a ride once. Thankfully in only did minor damage to my swing arm and hub. And yes, I did tighten them periodically. After that I found a few threads on Holeshot where some other Pumpkinheads had the same problem. I even saw something in one of the dirt mags as well.
