Crush washers
Does anybody have a source for those crush washers that go on the bolts for the fork drain hole and the bolts in the bottom of the forks?
Everything I can find has the bolt and the washer but I was just looking for the washers by themselves.

I buy mine at the dealer. Buy a couple of screws and the washers come with them. I don't know of another source. Cheapskate that I am, I've been known to sand them on a surface plate and reuse the same washers for years.

I reuse mine a lot too but if I need a washer I don't want to have to buy the bolt (that I don't need) too.

I get that, but Harley doesn't sell the washer separately, and I don't know of an exact replacement. In any case, they're not expensive, and, eventually, I'll bugger up the heads of the Phillips screws anyway, so I don't mind replacing both.

Yeah I know the bolt is only like a buck but I still don't like having to replace a perfectly good part if I don't have to.

I'll have to measure the washers in mm and see if they match up.
