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.

 

If you have the copper washers in hand, try an auto parts store, the copper crush washers for a brake system may work.

That's the part I'm trying to avoid.
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.

 

It just offends my sensibilities to have to replace something that is perfectly good (the bolt) when I don't need to.

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.

YMMV

try an ordinary hardware store. the one near me has copper washers. i don't know if they would have the size you're looking for tho.

 

I buy most of my hard(er) to find hardware here: https://www.mcmaster.com/#crush-washers/=1bgxvpa

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