Default Where did this screw come from?



Hello! I found this screw with 8.8 stsmped on top on my driveway and I recall there being discussions that HD uses grade 8 screws. I thought that maybe this could have come from my 2016 1200T but I did not see any obvious missing screws. It'a thread is about 5/8" long.

I would appreciate any thoughts you may have on if this may have come from my bike and where. Thanks in advance!

i believe that is a metric fastener.... grade 8 will have line markings (six lines in a star like pattern on the head), not numerical... 8.8 is a metric designation for a medium strength bolt.

Looks like a garage door bolt.

It's a low grade bolt...probably wasn't holding anything to important on lol...I always say keep diving until it falls off then turn around and go get it. I'd agree with license plate or something similar

Flux capacitor retention bolt. Try to stay under 88 mph until you replace it.

Thread locking compound on the threads? Maybe an exhaust mounting bolt?
