I replaced some bolts on my bike with the allen head chrome and they will eventually rust particularly inside the allen head. You can put some clear fingernail polish in the heads to help some.

I went with 12 point show polished stainless (they also have allen head) from Topline Fasteners. The 12 points look awesome! They look like chrome and no rust! Did I mention that I hate rust?

Can be a little pricey but what isn't on a Harley? You'll come out much cheaper by buying a kit instead of individual bolts if you're gonna replace several.

Call Dan at http://toplinefasteners.com/motorcycles.html he has treated me well.

I've gotten quite a few from Menards, Ace, and Sears hardware.

Well, I went on a mission today to find a local hardware store within decent traveling distance. I found one late this afternoon and of course it wasn't open. I did see this posted on the front window though.
