speed nut I think
« on: August 08, 2015, 12:11:05 PM »
Ok, evidently my 2013 V7 stone has a lot of what I call speed nuts, and in installing some agostini bars and Denali lights I notice that several of them are broken.    where can I get a supply of these little buggers?  Is speed nuts the correct term for them?

In aircraft usage, they are called Tinnerman nuts.

BMW motorcycle dealers have the speed nuts in stock.  You can also get them from Harpers, MG Cycle, AF1 Racing, or Moto International.  Easy-peasy.

Thanks.  This group is a fount of wisdom.  Of course, the most major discovery I have made here is that I had never, in 66 years, heard of steel cut oats, now I'm a Bob's Red Mill addict.  Even my 10 year old grand daughter Chloe loved them "I like the texture".

I've always called them speed nuts, and they can usually be found at a local Ace hardware or True Value store. I prefer to shop locally whenever possible.

Dave  post a picture of your light setup please.  Or better yet big the V7 to Lindale.

BTW they don't have steel cut oats at the Shed
