RE: screwed?

Most of the local hardware stores carry chrome allen head bolts that will fit. If not, you can get them at a bike shop.

You can also order whole sets of polished stainless steel fasteners from places like,

http://www.southcoaststainless.com/

http://www.depss.com/

or

http://www.alloyboltz.com/catalog/index.php

Have fun looking around.

Have you done business with any of these companies? If so, I was curious what your take is. There is a pretty big discrepancy in pricing for the '00-'06 Softail engine kit between southcoaststainless.com and alloyboltz.com.

RE: screwed?

Not yet, but I plan to eventually swap out all the exposed bolts, nuts, and screws for polished Stainless Steel versions. Those were just a couple of the sites I found that can supply them. When I do decide which one to get them from I'll be sure to let everyone know how I make out for both quality and price.
MEan time try a search of the site for any mention of polished stainless steel hardware. There should be a couple or three threads on the subject to find.

RE: screwed?

These are a pita to get ahold of in Europe as obviously they are imperial as apposed to metric. Everything here's metric. So they charge a stupid premium for the imperial ones.

HD charge a laughable amount for them to over here.

Anyhow, point is, I had an idea, I basically went through all the stock stuff that I'd swapped out with chrome, accessories etc, and you'd be suprised how many stock bolts, washers and junk you have left over. A lot of the accessories come with their own bolts, studs etc. Kuryakyn is good for this too. ...... So you may wanna have a rummage through all your old stuff, it worked for me twice.
