Default AC Banjo Bolt


I can't believe it. I was putting my HD stage 1 AC back on (using a torque wrench) and one of the banjo bolts snapped in the head. It was no problem to get out but now I'm stuck because I'm sure that's not something my dealer stocks and my guess is I won't find one anywhere else (of course I'm on vacation next week). Any ideas?[/align][/align]Thanks,[/align]Rick[/align]

The dealer near me stocks them. Have you tried calling around for one?

I'll try first thing tomorrow. My dealer is not real good about keeping things like that in stock. I sure hope I'm wrong.

My dealer has them in stock too. You might be pleasantly surprised.

I had one fall out of my RK when it was new.

I put a standard bolt in it until I got to a HD Dealr that stocked the bolt.

No problem with putting a solid bolt in, there is still another one to vent the rocker box.

might be a good excuse with the wife to let you buy a Big Sucker instead of the SE!

What makes the Ness BS more desirable?

IMHO the design of the breather system in the backing plate of the AN BS is a much better design. it also comes with a K&N filter and you can get the backing plate in chrome. I have both, a SE and a AN and wouldn't waste the money for a SE over a AN.

Maybe I'll pop for one in a couple weeksbut for the time being I was able to pick the needed bolt at my dealer. Just when I'm at the point where I swear I'll never go back there they save my bacon. I would have bet my left n.. they wouldn't have it.
