Default Swingarm Pivot Bolt

I've searched and searched with no luck, so I'll ask away and brace for the answers. Got a 2021 883 Iron missing the swingarm pit bolt nut.
Dealer has them on backorder until Feb. 2026, bike is currently a non-runner (project) and I'd rather not have to pull the swingarm bolt to carry to a hardware store. Does anyone know off hand the thread on the bolt? I've searched way too much, MoCo does not list and $20+ on eBay for a nut is a bit of a tough pill to swallow. Thanks for any assistance!

The part number is 47500006. It appears
to be a common axle nut used on alot of different bikes since 2014.

There is one listed on Ebay for $13.00

https://www.ebay.com/itm/176866162851

Looking at RonniesHD microfiche, that nut should cost $4.50...
You might try going to a different dealer or have
them search for it at another dealer and transfer it
so they can sell it to you.

hth,

T.

Is that bolt all that’s keeping you from riding the bike or are there other issues that need fixed?

I know $20 is a lot to pay for a bolt but if that’s all that needs done, I’d drop $20 for the bolt and be riding tomorrow.

Harley website says sold out but some dealers in my local area (Harrisburg, PA) have them. Like stated above, have your dealer do a search and have one shipped to you.

Website says Crossroads HD has them.

The bearing (but not really a bearing) that is in the swing arm hasn't changed over the years so I can quite confidently say you need a 3/4" UNC flange nut, something like this:-

3/4"-10 UNC Flange Nut Northwestern #34fn - R. E. Glover Ltd.

For future reference of others, the nut is a 3/4"-16 flange nut. Such an ordeal to figure out, I thought I'd put it in the interwebs for others.
