8 bolts

Where else do you find or see them, other than those K0 Sandcast 750 bikes.  Other cars? Other manufactures?

 I've found the ones I need in my used bolt box. Thank goodness for parts bikes. They did come on bikes newer than sandcast ones. 
 I read Honda was scrambling for supplies due to unexpected demand and at times they had to source fasteners from where ever they could get them.
 There are different configurations of the 8 too.

The other day while under my car doing oil change, notice few  8 bolts.  They don't look entirely same as older honda 8 bolts, but have 8 stamped on the head.  I thought they were interesting.
