Default Acorn Nuts

Hi All.

My FXR has these acorn shaped nuts here and there. Mirror, saddle bag bars, chrome side covers. Trouble is the locations aren't consistent so I tend to believe that a former owner added them. For instance, only one mirror is secured with an acorn nut. Are these original or aftermarket, and what is a good source for them?


An example.

Thanks for the help.

Fastenal, McMaster Carr, my local Ace Hardware has a chrome fastener section. Sometimes you can find bulk on Ebay too.

Fuhgeddaboudit, I just went through that bs. They are after market and I just paid $10 for 2 of them. Home Depot and lowes didn’t have them so I had to go buy em on line. You can try the references brakeless just put up, I had no luck locally.

That’s what I was getting, look at those shipping charges. The eBay one is a rare find.

$1.80 Xs 2 $3.60 + the cheapest shipping charge of $4.95 = $8.60, plus tax 😁

I buy most of my fasteners from Bolt Depot, they ship fast.

I usually keep a list going and put in an order when when I have a fair amount of stuff to get.

The basic shipping can be a bit high when you only order a few dollars worth of parts.
