Using Pinch Bolts for turn signal mount
How recessed are your pinch bolts? On my 08 Street Bob, they are set in a good 3/8" at least, and I'm worried about trying to tighten that up againt the swivel plate. My thoughts are it'll just chew the plate and take it into the recess. Or the pinch won't be as good. Thoughts, anyone? Thanks

jut make yourself a couple of spacers to go inside the tripple tree to take up the space..then use your stock swivel mount from the left side and on my 09 i hade to fab up one..i used the stock one just welded it to a flat piece of stock and done...simple...let me know...ill send ya some pics if need be. o and btw..dont use the stock bolts..go down and buy yourself a couple nice crome ones like 1/2-3/4 longer.....

The only way it would depress into the recess is if you use a bolt with a head smaller than the recess hole diameter. If you are worried about that just add a flat washer.

Kevin, thanks. As I was riding into work tonight, I realized what you meant by spacer. I could just put a sleeve around the shoulder of the bolt and use the otuside or the tree as the contact point of the head. Again, big help guys. Thanks.

J and P sells a nice piece/kit that the turn signal mounts to and then replaces the existing pinch bolt. Makes a nice clean look on my 07 Street Bob. I did put a washer/spacer in to fill a little bit but otherwise they work great.
