Default Missing bolt on SHift Linkage
The bolt came out on the back side of the shifter linkage that holds the transmission shift lever tight to the shifter shaft. Anyone know what the part number is or exactly what size this is. Hate to have to buy the entire shift lever arm for a single bolt.
thanks

Or install a grade 8 bolt.

it was only 54 cents at Harley and had to pass one on the way home. Seems the shaft splines are worn, since I bought it used, who knows what may have been done before me. Looks like I need a new shaft and shifter arm as well. Might as well replace them now before I get stranded somewhere
thanks

Easy and quick to repair. I actually carry all those parts in my saddlebag, along with the required tools, as they strip and break often enough if you ride a lot!
