Idk about u but don't have room to keep my tools near my bike and I dislike having to walk back an forth to the box so I throw a tape on any bolt I'm unsure of
It can be especially a pain when dealing with mixed metric and SAE
So I like to measure what I'm unsure of and only make 1 trip to the tool crib lol

Actually, I've been wrenching on my bike for so long that I have most of the common fasteners and the wrenches I need for them committed to memory.

The parts catalogs have a hardware listing. In this list you'll find the p/n and details (specs) for bolts, nuts and washers.
As an example: p/n 3909 CREW, 1/4-20 X 1.25 hex head.
1/4 is the diameter in inch
20 is number of threads per inch
1.25 is length of screw in inch
Using this Bolt Head/Wrench Size Table (source: K-T Bolt) you will be able to figure out what size wrench you need, in this case according to the table 7/16 or 3/8.
H-D uses metric bolts and nuts on their models too.

Here's a link where you can find some info on metric sizes.

For instance this part number is 10200218 but the thread and pitch aren't available on parts catalog?

In this case only the p/n is shown and not the specs....
