Metric or standard bolts
Are all of the bolts on our Harley's metric or a mix of metric and standard? I always thought it was crazy to mix metric and standard bolts but I guess Harley has their reasons. They do the same thing on American Car and trucks. Years ago there was talk about gradually converting over to all metric.

Recognizing the importance of cultural diversity and political correctness, Harley has thrown a generous amount of metrics in to the mix.

Harleys will use all metric fasteners before too long.
