Hello,

I recently installed a Supertrapp 2:1 Supermegs exhaust on my 2010 FXDB Street Bob. When I removed the stock rear exhaust bracket it contained 2 bolts that went into the transmission assembly and a fastener just to the left. When I went to put on the Supertrapp muffler support bracket it only contained 2 fasteners that went into the transmission assembly leaving a hole where the previous fastener went. I thought maybe I just needed to put the orignal stock fastener back in, but it was too long and stuck out. I tried looking online but all the pictures I see look to have a fastener plugging up that hole.

Anyone have any ideas? Can I just leave it open or is there a fastener or plug I should put in there? It seemed like that hole is only there for the stock muffler bracket, but I could be totally wrong...wouldn't be suprising as I'm pretty new to working on my HD

Attached are two pictures: stock bracket with the 3 bolts and the Supertrapp bracket that only covers 2 holes leaving a hole open.

UPDATE: This is what I got back from Supertrapp:

I'm going to run to the hardware store and get a different bolt.

 

A little surprising such a nice pipe doesn't include a plastic plug or an appropriately sized bolt to fill the unused mounting hole.
For sure you don't want to leave it exposed to moisture and dirt, so go to your local hardware store and get yourself one of the above and cover it.

If I remember, I just used a stock bolt with a spacer, thanks for the reminder, I'm gonna get a black, shorter bolt.

 

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.
