Twinmotorcycles.nl lists it if you want one with a HD stamp on the head.
So, did my research - gotta be grade 8, can't use stainless due to the torque involved and 'cold fusion' of the bolt with the clamp. St Paul HD only appears to stock the lower pinch bolt (the ones that hold the front wheel on). Got some black oxide ones that meet the grade 8 minimum but....they're rusting a bit. No beuno.
Where can I source a grade 8, stainless type bolt like this? I went to one Harley dealer (god, I hate stepping into those places) and they don't even show that the bolt exists. It's the one that takes a 1/4" hex, not the 5/16".
Thanks.

Hmmm, McMaster has it but only sells in packs of 25 - way more than I need (4). Couldn't find anything or Grainger nor Twin's site. Got a link for Twin moto's site? I searched and searched.
I love going to the HD dealership. Lots of eye candy and my store is Buell friendly.
25 from McMaster will still be less than 4 from Harley.

I as well, Josh. Regular trips to the factory also enjoyable. Great way to bump into some legendary people just hanging about.
