At any rate, the parts supply for production is kept separate from the supply for service. It can be extremely irritating but just think of the repercussions of shutting the whole line down because they are short a couple of standoffs. It's of little concern to them if you are unable to ride for a while, unfortunately.

None of that is an excuse for the dealer not to source them elsewhere. As the guys here have shown, it's not that hard.

Agreed !!
Those stand offs are common every where!!
The dealer could source them from an outside supplier with little effort !!

I guess this shows the level of respect the dealer has
For his customers.

Run to the hardware store and grabs some !!

After a bit of badgering they finally did a dealer search (didn't find any), then took them off of one of their bikes in the shop). Not sure why they couldn't have done that weeks before. Anyway, bike comes home tomorrow after 9 weeks.

The are also called all thread nuts for 1/4" and larger thread sizes then you just loctite a long set screw or correct sized length of all thread in to complete the unit, available at any decent hardware store like Ace.

many ways to skin this cat.......

Yep, above posts are correct. Harley does not make the bolts, as long as you use the same grade bolt, the shop should source them for you, at 1/3 the price..... :
