If in a bind you can buy them from your local Harley Davidson parts department, for approx. $5.00 each ouch right ?
I found that McMaster Carr has them in stock, but there online catalog doesn't show them, you have to call in with the sizes you want. And they will hook you up, and there prices are much better.
And finally just the other day I was in Home Depot and found them in the plumbing department, in pack of 20 for around 10 bucks.

Added the McMaster offline order info to the crimp clamp description. Thanks for that.
Depends on whether you need to take em on and off for maintenance. Oil cooler line flex sections and CV boots are a good place for em.
You want German Fuel Injection Clamps or Rotor Clip Constant Tension Clamps on things like inline fuel/transmission/power-steering filters, tank selector valves, and electric fuel pump connections.
One thing I didn't mention was the need for beads on pressure lines to make keeping the hoses in place easier.
