Are you referring to the adjustable links used for engine/ drivetrain alignment?
Regardless of what youre looking for you might get more responses if you post year & model of your bike

Screw driver bit for drag link screws, used to remove the screws on the oil pump...
I use a 1/2" drive drag link socket, or the big straight slot driver that comes with an el cheapo impact driver.
Once the screw is removed, it goes right into the scrap bin.
Replace with an aftermarket hex head plug.
I quit checking the tappet screen at oil changes decades ago...

The hex head eliminates the stupid straight slot screw. The straight slot screw is a real pain if you have an uninstalled oil pump.
