I have a big box of assorted takeoff bolts and nuts from all of the Harleys I have owned.

Today I needed three of these nuts but I only had two. (I used them to secure a laydown license plate which was not their original purpose.)

They are threaded 1/4 inch coarse. (20TPI I think.)

Does anyone know what this goes to so I can buy some more?

If it helps, all of my bikes have been 2016 or newer.

Thanks!

My local Ace hardware has a large selection of specialty nuts and bolts, I'm sure they have something very close if I needed.
McMaster Carr probably carries those as well.

It's called a flange nut should be very easy to find in a hardware aisle.

HD part # is 7499.  On police bikes two of them are used to hold the seat fairing to the rear fender.

1/4-20 flange nut (7499) is used a couple places,  holds the cruise module in place 95-07 touring,  two piece seats on some road king models, cop application as mentioned above, etc.
Ignorance is bliss, and accuracy expensive. How much of either can you afford?

Yup, same part is used to bolt the OEM rider-backrest socket assembly to the rear fender.

I believe those nuts go to the U bolts that hold the top of harley lower farings.
