That bracket is for a 2006 and later. 2005 looks like the belt guard bracket is welded on, not bolted on to the swing arm: https://shop.suburbanharley.com/oem-...e99ffc10d56c/y

I can't really tell what is what in your pictures. So you may not have the issue I had when I removed my rear peg but that may be why the bracket is only needed for the 06 and up. On the 06 the upper belt guard mounted to the back of the passenger peg but looking in to it I see on the 05 it didn't. Here's a thread about your specific application though. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...ide-glide.html
There is nothing attached to the upper guard atleast.
Thanks for the link to the other thread, he had a wide glide 04 so maybe it differs but maybe not.
Im gonna try to see if i can unscrew it and see. Maybe its welded as WS6 Formula says but maybe not

They became a bit dark.. but it looks like there only is one screw as you see in the picture.

I already removed the right one without scratching or removing rear fender. However the frikkin bolt is too long so it just sits there still.

I know there's some threads about this but cant wrap my head around it, if it applies to my 2005 fxdci.
I want to remove the passenger pegs and the bracket on the left side.
Is there any downside to doing this?
Is the bracket also a belt guard in some way so i should change its for another part?

Huge thanks! Will do this weekend. Does it really protect anything so its a good idea to put something else or a lower belt guard or is it just good to go?

The bracket that you want to remove is only for the footrest, it has nothing to do with the belt guards. The belt guards attach to the swing arm: https://shop.suburbanharley.com/oem-...e99ffc10d56c/y
