Hardware Sizes

I want to start switching over some hardware to chrome and I can't find a listing of size required for particular applications anywhere. It's not in the service manual, torque spec's are but not diameter and length of the hardware. It would be nice to have the hardware in advance of pulling things apart.

While I'm at it on my RK I can't find anything in the manual that tells me what is behind the little cover (5 screws holding it on) on the cam cover; nor are there any torque specs for it that I can find.

BTW the specific hardware I am looking for at this time is the transmission cover hardware and that little cover described above. changing my bars soon and clutch cable so may as well add chrome hardware when I change the clutch cable.

See if this will help you...

In the OEM parts finder that 'little cover' is simply called 'cover'. Earlier twin cams had the cam position sensor inside it. (It was called 'cam position sensor cover' way back then.)I don't believe your '10 has anything in it. (Good place to hide yer 'stash' tho not real handy for quick access!)

Hardware Sizes

What you actually need is a parts book for your particular bike model and year. They have illustrated parts breakdowns with the needed hardware and a part number index for hardware in the back of the book. You just look up the hardware part number in the back of the book and it gives you the diameter of the hardware as well as the thread pitch and length...

This is what I didn't want to do! I don't know where everyone lives that says they go down to Ace and buy there hardware, my local ace has a very limited supply unless your fixing a tractor!
