Ricky you have hit on one of my recent peeves. I appreciate the convenience of Internet shopping, but the disappearance of local establishments has cost us a lot of money in shipping.
It doesn`t matter where you buy something, you always pay for the shipping. Even when it says free shipping, you still pay...It`s in the price of the item.

I have bought hundreds of fasteners online, and when I buy a small amount, the shipping box is just big enough to hold the items, or they come in a shipping envelope.
Both my early 80ies shovelheads are full of these, cam cover and tranny cover on both my bikes are screwed down with these acorn nuts. Theyre literally everywhere to the point I think these are standard ?
