ARP 12-Point Bolts & Nuts
ARP has built its reputation around manufacturing precision fasteners for demanding performance applications.
Our FXR rear shock kit features ARP 12-point bolts and matching 12-point nuts, providing a coordinated fastening system for the intended mounting locations.
The 12-point design offers a distinctive performance look and allows installation with the appropriately sized 12-point tool.
These aren't random bolts pulled from a hardware bin.
The ARP fasteners in this kit are manufactured to Imzz Elite specifications for the intended application.
Quality fasteners. Proper application. No unnecessary shortcuts.
Imzz Elite Billet Aluminum Beauty Washers
Performance hardware should look as good as it functions.
Each kit includes four Imzz Elite billet aluminum beauty washers to finish the exposed rear shock mounting hardware.
These washers create a clean, detailed appearance around the bolt heads and complement the precision-machined look of the ARP fasteners.
They're the finishing touch that takes a simple hardware replacement and makes it look intentional.
The details make the build.
Choose Your Finish
Black Oxide
For riders who prefer a dark, understated appearance.
Black Oxide ARP hardware is an excellent visual match for black shocks, blacked-out suspension components, and aggressive FXR builds.
Black oxide is a conversion coating rather than a thick decorative plating. It requires regular care to maintain its protective finish.
Stainless Steel
For riders who prefer a bright, clean hardware appearance and the corrosion-resistant properties of stainless steel.
Stainless steel complements polished aluminum, machined suspension components, and classic FXR styling.
Available in Black Oxide or Stainless Steel.
Harley-Davidson FXR Fitment
Designed to fit all Harley-Davidson FXR models, according to the supplied kit fitment designation.
Suitable for FXR rear shock mounting applications using the intended mounting configuration.
Fitment Notes
-
Intended for Harley-Davidson FXR rear shock mounting locations
-
Includes four bolts and four nuts for the complete kit
-
Verify compatibility with aftermarket shocks, spacers, bushings, and modified mounting arrangements
-
Custom suspension configurations may require additional fitment verification
If your FXR has modified shock mounts or nonstandard suspension hardware, confirm the required mounting dimensions before ordering.
What Is Black Oxide ARP Hardware?
Black oxide is a chemical conversion coating applied to steel fasteners.
Unlike paint or thick decorative plating, black oxide creates a dark finish with minimal dimensional buildup.
It's commonly used on precision fasteners where maintaining dimensional consistency is important.
Benefits of Black Oxide
-
Deep black appearance
-
Minimal coating thickness
-
Clean performance styling
-
Some corrosion protection when properly maintained with a protective oil film. We love Silikroil!
Important: Black oxide is not rust-proof and should not be treated like a maintenance-free coating.
Why Do Black Oxide ARP Bolts Arrive Oily?
If your Black Oxide ARP hardware arrives with a light oily film, that's intentional.
The oil helps protect the black oxide surface against moisture and corrosion during storage and handling.
It's part of maintaining the finish—not a manufacturing defect.
Follow the appropriate fastener installation instructions, including any specified thread preparation or lubricant requirements.
Will Black Oxide ARP Hardware Rust?
Yes, black oxide steel fasteners can develop surface oxidation or rust if exposed to moisture, road grime, or other corrosive conditions without proper maintenance.
Black oxide provides limited corrosion resistance on its own, which is why protective oil and regular cleaning matter.
Keep Your Hardware Looking Its Best
-
Clean and dry the hardware after washing your motorcycle
-
Remove moisture and road grime promptly
-
Periodically wipe exposed surfaces with an appropriate corrosion-inhibiting product
-
Inspect the hardware regularly, especially after riding in wet conditions
-
Pay attention to areas where water can collect around mounting hardware
For exposed surfaces, a small amount of a suitable protectant such as WD-40 or Silikroil may help maintain the finish. Keep products away from tires, brake components, and other surfaces where contamination could affect operation.
Don't Wait Until Rust Appears
Preventive maintenance is much easier than trying to restore neglected black oxide hardware.
Once oxidation or rust begins to develop, bringing back the original dark appearance can be difficult.
A few minutes of regular care can help preserve the finish and appearance of your ARP hardware.
Rear Shock Hardware Installation Notes
Rear shock mounting hardware is a safety-critical part of your motorcycle's suspension.
Correct installation is essential.
Before installation:
-
Confirm the kit is correct for your FXR and shock mounting configuration.
-
Inspect the shock mounts, bushings, sleeves, and spacers for wear or damage.
-
Follow the motorcycle and suspension manufacturer's installation instructions.
-
Use the specified torque values and any required thread-locking or lubrication procedures.
-
Verify that all mounting components are correctly positioned.
-
Confirm adequate clearance and unrestricted suspension movement.
-
Reinspect the mounting hardware according to the applicable service recommendations.
Do not substitute generic torque specifications for the correct hardware and suspension application.
If your motorcycle uses aftermarket shocks or modified mounting points, confirm the installation requirements with the suspension manufacturer.
