Bolt tightening

You know how you should regularly check to make sure no bolts or nuts have vibrated loose? (Yea, Bob, I sure do!)

In addition to the normal fenders, risers, triple trees, etc., there's one more bolt to check.

If you have Kuryakin ISO-footpegs--the wide flat version -- check the pivot bolt (the one that you shouldn't over-tighten).
Yesterday, cruising at hi-way speed, I felt a slight bump against the toe of my boot. Not having noticed anything the front tire could have thrown up, I looked down to notice that my right peg was missing. (Traffic volume made retrieval impractical)

It looks like replacements come in pairs -- Anybody have a right peg on the shelf? Or need a left peg and want to go halvsies?
