Well....

The m/c dealer in Longview is unable to help me. They don't have the part, they don't have the motorcycle to cannibalize the part (although they said they were unlikely to do that) but they've tried. They even said that with the time difference, they can't get me a part before Friday!!
I called back the shop from yesterday that is 50 miles north of there in Centralia. They're still happy to canibalize a bike on their showroom floor if I pay the expedited shipping to get their part. I just have to get the bike there....

Ok, now the plug for RV Roadhelp. They have stepped up and are going to issue ANOTHER tow call to get me to Centralia and to the dealer that can help. I don't know if they think that another tow is cheaper than two nights in a hotel but whatever.

I've already gotten to Centralia and the bike is currently being worked on. Its 2 PM now. My bolt gave out yesterday about 1:30 PM. With luck, I only lose about 1.5 days on my 4 corners ride. I think I can recover.....
