Default Drag Specialties sissy bar... HELP?!

Hey everyone, I just got a Drag Specialties tapered round sissy bar and I picked up some HD side straps from a fellow forum member. The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to find the correct specs for the screws I need to attach the upright to the side straps.

I found a lot of similar models from other manufacturers and I even bought a few screws from my local in, but they don't fit.

Can anyone tell me what screws I need to get for the sissy bar?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Jimmy

i would bring the bar to your local HD shop, my Hd shop carries a great selection of button head screws.

That's a great idea. I feel pretty dumb for not thinking of that. I was going to wait for the indy shop to open back up on Tuesday to bring it in there. I think I'll swing by the HD dealership tomorrow. Thanks!

A quick google search didn't reveal which threads they are, but it seems common that it has chrome in the threads and should run a tap into it to clean up the threads. A guess would be either 1/4"-20 or 3/16"-coarse thread

Well, I'm always looking for a reason to buy more tools and I don't have a tap and die set yet... Looks like I'll be heading to the toy store in the next few days.

Thanks!
