I'd be concerned with WHY and HOW it fell out..
Also, remember you can't re-use Nylock nuts forever they need to be replaced after a number of times on and odd the bolt. There are those that believe if it comes off the bolt, replace it with a new one. Not a bad idea inside a closed primary were it could do serious damage at speed.

Why the hell is this bolt size so hard to find. I only need one. I don't need to spend $25 on shipping and more bolts than I need. Anyone have extras or tell me where good place to buy one?

Yeah, but frequently with Fastenal you can't get just one, but these you can in zinc -- above is chrome.
Nylok nuts are a one time use. Besides there dirt cheap why wouldn’t you replace them for peace of mind.

Yeah drove 20 minutes each way at lunch today to go to a Fastenal. All their locations are supposedly closed to the public now. at Least here. She still looked for me and they still had to be ordered. Those arent the same ones above. Don’t they need to be flat head screw caps? Nylock nuts? I’ll have to read up and see what you guys are talking about.
thank you for the help.

I should back up a little bit I don’t even know if you have a manual for your bike ?
I posted those two last pages of the manual so you would have torque specs and which Loctite to use
Also the second page of the manual that I posted is because if it was me I’m already in there so I would adjust the chain and check the adjuster shoe and make sure it’s not worn out.
Kaptain America / Curtis at WSW has a YouTube video out there that shows how to do The chain tensioning procedure properly on a big dog / more in depth than the manual = you can’t beat experience.
I have found that the manual is not always correct and doesn’t always give you all the information you need.
