Looking for Harley CLE rear mount
Quote from kmev on December 10, 2014, 9:21 pmI'm looking for a Harley CLE rear mount - the one that clamps to the sidecar frame. Alternatively, I know this mount is available as a reproduction from V-Twin, but they do not make or sell the u-bolts. If anyone has just the u-bolts, or knows where to find them, that would be very helpful, too.

Quote from kmev on December 13, 2014, 5:22 pmI never actually thought about using off-the-shelf u-bolts. I thought the OEM bolts were somewhat flattened at the apex, but I guess any quality u-bolt would work just as well.

Quote from IndSlim on December 14, 2014, 10:33 pmI just saw some in a catalogue not too long ago with the flattened apex. There is a name for them. I'll look. Grangier may be another source.

Quote from jack jr on January 7, 2015, 7:02 amno just u bolts
1.5 " inside diameter
I could not find any at graingers or other suppliers that would fit the frame and the block.
so I paid H-D price, even the parts guy at the dealer thought the price was wrong, so he re checked and was
surprised .
I had to go to 2 dealers one only had 1 in stock the other they ordered for me.

Quote from kmev on January 12, 2015, 6:40 pmLooks like these should work at $7 each in stainless: http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/details/74635?searchMode=productSearch&filterByVendingMachine=
3/8"-16 bolt with 1.5" inside width, 2.5" inside length, 1.25" thread length.

Quote from jack jr on January 13, 2015, 11:27 amLooks good the only difference is the length of the thread area is 3/4 "on the HD bolt and the HD bolt uses a fine thread.
I just measured my u bolts. Im going to the Fastenal store to see if they fit into the mount.

Quote from kmev on January 13, 2015, 9:30 pmI stopped at my local Fastenal store, but the guy at the counter would only sell me 5, not two. I could purchase two online and pick them up at the store, but he refused to sell me less than five of the 40 they had in stock. :o:-(

Its the principle of it all. I just ordered two online, shipped to my address. Total cost was eleven dollars less then that package of five.

Quote from Hack__n on January 16, 2015, 12:48 pmIf economically feasible we like to buy local if possible. Even here in Boise, where most parts and such are more expensive than when we operated on the 1-5 corridor where competition abounded
.
A symbiotic relationship exists with our neighboring vendors, as we both pay a bit more and buy each others products or services.Lonnie & Judy Cook

Quote from kmev on January 17, 2015, 8:28 amI agree - I pay more for stuff at my local hardware store when I know I can get the same item cheaper at a box store because I would rather support a small, local business. However, this was Fastenal. I made the online purchase from Fastenal, who happily shipped it from Minnesota to Wisconsin, but refused to sell it to me over the counter in my home town from an in-stock supply.
