Default DYNA FXD 2008 Help

Hi everyone, im new here. I own a 2008 FXD as the title says, and im trying to install a back rest for the wife and also being able to carry my saddle bags. The hex bolt that comes with the bike are not long enough to accomodate the saddle bag support bar and the sissy bar back rest. Is anyone here had that problem and if so, how did you manage to fit everything down there. Thanks for all the suggestions.

If you buy the docking hardware kit it comes with longer hardware. If it's not detachable, and you need longer bolts, any hardware store can accommodate you

Mind the grade of bolts you use; you don't want your lady rolling of the back of the bike under acceleration! Standard hardware fare is only grade 2.
