Easy to remove the captive nut (where the rear seat bolts into the fender). It's just held in with a circlip, and fill the hole with a rubber bung. Or if you want to get fancy, your local HD dealer will have little plastic plugs made for the job, but they'll probably want $10 or something nuts for them
I took the bag off one side to look at things. Are these spacer pieces between the fender and strut on there from the factory or something added for the bags?
Anyone know the bolt size? Id like to find some black bolts
Just trying to figure out how to convert it back to like it was before bags? I got the bike with bags and backrest/sissy bar, and i'm taking all that off this one.
I don't think there are any spacers on mine, but it looks like you might need them to keep from stressing the fender. From the trim on the frame rail out there is nothing that isn't part of the bags and rack, other than the screw. Mine looks just like the first photo in post #1.
Spacers between fender and strut are factory. If you want to skip the Harley dealer, could measure the excess length of the bolt due to the QR mount, and then match the bolt at a good hardware or auto parts store but in the shorter length that you need.
The factory bolts should be pretty button heads. Not sure if you can get them at the hardware store, but hardware store bolts would work while you wait...
Photo 1 looks like someone lost the spacer and used some washers. Photo 3 looks like a factory spacer.
