Most all the nuts, bolts & washers. The rear brake peddle arm & mounting bracket and rod. The key switch & horn mounting brackets. Probably more than I can think of at the moment.

Cad plated or zinc plated? Combination of the two?
For sure the front and rear spokes on my 78-1/2 FXE are zinc plated as is the chain sprocket (chrome sprocket was an option however according to the accessory catalog).
Most of my bolts appear to be zinc and not cad. Not sure at what point MoCo switched to zinc platring over cad.
