I have detachable sideplates and the turn signal relocation kit on my Street Bob. I am adding a Kury Panacea and may remove the rear signals, depending on how the rear profile looks. What is used to cap off the ends of the detachable sideplate studs? Is there a part available from HD, or do I need to buy a high grade bolt to screw in there? Does anyone have a picture of this setup? Here is a rear photo of the sideplate mounts I have now.

 

there is this little "beauty cap" type thing. it is basically a flat metal piece in an oval shape. and the bolt goes thru and connects to your inner fender. i dont have a pic, but i dont think harley did a great job of thinking this one thru, the part may cost .01-.03 cents to produce...

 

Are those parts included with the detachable hardware kit? It has been a while since I installed it, and other than the PIA of running the wires through the bolts, I don't remember how it fit together. Seems like the studs with the jam nut screwed into the bullets, then into the fender struts. So I guess I am looking to replace those long studs with short bolts that just go through the mounts.

 

i did the exact thing you are talking about. i removed the rear sigs and for the QD sideplates i just ran a button head screw like the front one
same length as well works great sorry not pic im out of town
i will try to get some when i get home
and yes the QD sideplate kit comes with the little filler piece for the fender stut covers

 

Amish, thanks! I would like to see any pics you have of the setup when you get time. I guess I need to dig into the excess parts bin and find those pieces. I may pull one of the front screws and see if I can match it up. I am going to get the Panacea mounted and make sure it is bright enough first. If the turn indicators on the Panacea are not obvious I will probably leave the rear turn signals as is.

 

i think they were 3/8-16
1 3/4 long
same size and length as the front bolts
