  • Tail Light screws

    Looking for the two long screws that hold the tail light lens in place on my '78 standard. I haven't tried Ace hardware yet but I doubt they will have these since they are so long.

    Thanks!

    With the exception of special purpose fasteners that are primarily internal engine, the hardware on these bikes can be found at local harware stores. Not so much at a Home Depot or Lowes as they will not carry as much stuff, but your local smaller stores have greater selections.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      Problem solved, Ace Hardware pulls through again! Should have never doubted them. They had M4X60 screws, the head is a bit larger than stock but still fits in the tail light lens and it's not stainless but it is zinc plated.

        You can buy the whole lens with screws for 7 bucks or so from partsnmore. Brand new
