Even though I'm retired, I buy those in bags of 500. Used a couple today. Guess I'm messy with them, keep finding cut off ends in the garden.

Do you have a barn?

I was surprised to find out some of the larger bolts were cheaper from the dealer than local hardware stores. Inner tubes for the Sportster were cheaper for American made at the dealer than some of the china stuff on Amazon. Most Harley stuff is at least double from about anywhere else, even when it's chinese made. I like EBC pads, too.

I have an S&S 96", strong pulling engine. Unfortunately the Harley it came with was close to being all worn out and busted.
