Default FXDXT rear fender saddlebag mount thread pitch?
Does anyone know the thread pitch on these holes? Mine are threaded but they are not a 1/4" or a 5/16". Could they actually be metric? The 1/4" was way too small, the 5/16" too big. Thanks for anyone that knows the answer.

Do you mean the pitch of the threads or the diameter of the bolts?

Never mind. Just gonna tap it to 5/16". I think there is a lot of paint on the threads from when the fender was painted.

Noooo. Sorry, I was asleep at the wheel. They should just about all be 3/8" course threads on the back of bike.
