Default 2008 Street Bob Rear Upper Shock Bolt

Does anyone know what the size of the shock bolt is for a 2008 FXDB? When i purchased the bike it came with the saddlebag bracket installed and the previous owner had gotten rid of the OEM hardware. Much appreciated!

Put these on my 2013 fxdb when I upgraded suspension. Really nice hardware.

You will want to get stock bolts or something like those ^^
I'm sure my 13 is the same as your 08, and you need a spacer for the bolt that is recessed into the frame or your shock bolt will bend. Found that out when I took my shocks off and the guy before me just had a stud ready to snap in there.

Those bolts are kinda costly. Go to your local hardware store and get grade 8 bolts. 2 1/2" total thread length. Just take old bolt with and find the correct length. FYI - my 07 Dyna snapped one of the OEM upper shock bolts. HD using some rare chineeseium bolts that WILL break.
