This side of the pond we have been using metric for engineering since, well before I trained as a techy in about 1983! So coming to a HD has been a bit of a shock with the mix of metric, UNC, UNF, AF and so on! 
So, to help me find what size a bolt is to order a new one or so on, I created a chart that is now pinned to the garage wall... I thought it might be of use to someone else.
Might have lots of errors so use with care & please let me know any errors or ideas!

Also, as I'm a bit of a numpty & like to double check stuff 
There is also a chart for converting between decimal (as shown on my digital callipers) and the fractions given in manuals & instructions.

So useful, thanks for sharing. Recently purchased a 2019 Fat Bob and love it but the rear license plate mount on EU bikes is a visual abomination. It has had to go but getting my head around the variety of Imperial and occasional metric fixings has been a headache. Using a side mounted license plate holder, between the turn signal and side frame requires a longer bolt and your chart has provided some much welcome clarity. Now just need to source the critter.
