| Note 1 | This bolt has a plain smooth head with no markings (no circle F), and is mis-identified in the Spares book from 1952-1958 as a 5/16"-18 NC bolt, when in fact it is a 5/16"-24 NF bolt. Spares book also calls out bolt length incorrectly, via various typos, but correct length is 3-1/4". |
| Note 2 | 7725 is the incorrect P/N for this nut. The correct P/N is 7727, which is a "special" thin 5/16-24 NF Flexloc nut, similar in thickness to a jam nut, and used for "Buddy seat front end bolt nut" and on Panhead rocker arm studs. A standard 7725 Flexloc nut will not fully engage on bolt 4082 when 6329 washers are present. 7725 - Full length conical ended Flexloc nut - 0.338" 7725 - Full length square shouldered Flexloc nut - 0.350" 7727 - Short conical ended Flexloc nut length - 0.265" 7727 - Short square shouldered Flexloc nut length - 0.255" |
| Note 3 | This part is shown in the illustration, but not in the parts listing. See Miscellaneous Listings (hardware) section. |
| Note 4 | Most lines observed have been cad-plated copper, but cad-plated steel lines are known to exist. |
| Note 5 | Most lines observed have been cad-plated copper, but cad-plated steel lines are known to exist, as well as rarer versions with lead-tin plating. |
| Note 6 | Rubber lines. Early 1954 advertising photos show 1952-1953-style steel lines |
