The crazy thing is I keep thinking I put them in inside something so they wouldn't blow away. I'll probably find them as soon as these others arrive.

Last resort solution... I bought a package of 3mm washers at the hardware store. They have the correct ID but the OD is 1mm too large. I proceeded to grind them down to size with a dremel while holding and rotating it in a needle nose pliers. Didn't even take 5 minutes to do 3 of them. I had one original one to copy the size from. For me, it was a better solution than waiting for or trying to track down the correct ones and the bike was down the road shortly thereafter.2H7 (79) owned since '89

I had them stashed in the corner of a drawer but I've torn my box apart and they are nowhere to be found. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

I'm an auto tech Sid, I had them in my toolbox at work. I ripped through all 15 drawers and both side cabinets. Even pulled out the lower drawers to make sure they hadn't fallen into the cabinet.
I work in a 12 bay shop, 6 bays on the south and 6 bays on the north. All the bay doors are open most of the time for air but the wind whips through here pretty good sometimes. Pretty sure they blew out of the drawer and away.Greg

I guess that I was trying to say that it is good that they are still available whether it be 13, 22 or 100 bucks instead of being unobtanium.2-79 XS1100 SF
