This question has been asked. How do I know, because I researched before I asked the same question over again.
Harley does have a ton of part numbers for the same part, or so it seems. I use that Ronnie's site to look up part numbers
So here's what I'm looking for and the part number I have, and the year and model of my bike.
I have a 2009 Ultra Classic Electra Glide. I am looking for the size of the lower bolts for the engine guard. The part number I got off the Ronnie's website is 4924. The bolt size I got off this forum is 3/8-16x 1 1/4.
Would this be the correct size for my bike?
Thanks for your input.

Part number is correct. Length size on the internet is 7/8.
4924 = 3/8 - 16 X 7/8 I think. 1 1/4 inch may be too long
I think the top mounting screw is 1 1/4 inch long
Buy them at the dealer and all will be well for size.

Take the other bolt out and put in in yer pocket. Go to ACE Hardware, fastener isle and take the bolt out. There a Nut & Bolt Gauge chart hanging off a shelf there. Screw the bolt into a threaded hole it fits tight into. Look at the thread size. Look for that thread size bolt, using the original bolt to guide you to the correct length.

That would be the logical thing to do. But, bolts are seized on both sides and the torx head has been stripped out. Found this out when I went to take off the old engine guard.
Carefully grind off the head of the bolt ... Remove the guard ... Apply a heat source to the remaining bolt, grab with a pair of vise grips and twist out
As Larry said or heat up the bolt with a heat gun, squirt a little PB-Blaster behind the engine guard, then hit the bolt a couple of times with a hammer or punch if you cannot get a clear shot at it.
Wait overnight, then see if you can tap a larger Torx or Allen in there and remove. If you can get some vice grips on it that may help to remove.
Thanks everyone for the answer to the question. I know that it's an old question.
But damn I wish Harley would stop being so secretive with bolt sizes. All Harley does is throws out a part number and you look it up and it says in the description that it's a screw.when we all know by looking at the part that it is clearly a bolt.
Anyway, the reason I want the bolt size is both of the lower bolts on the lower engine guard are seized and the torx head is stripped. Found this out when I went to change the engine guard.
I am not a fan of the torx bit. I deal with a company out in California that sells stainless black bolts in any size you might need and have purchased several black stainless bolts and screws from them. And with the new black engine guard I am putting on I am going with the black allen head.
Here is a picture of what is stock on my bike. Looks all nice and flush, but anti seize goop wasn't added
The work isn't really the problem. I do part time pick up and deliveries at a local Honda shop. Most everyone there rides a Harley.
And there's the mechanics who will help out if they're not busy.
Last Saturday they let me use a lift and pull my header pipe to replace my cam cover. My ride has/had way to much chrome. And Ol Larry always said chrome won't get ya home. And not only that all the damn polishing you have to do
Went from a chrome cam cover to this. A used cam cover off ebay, had it powder coated and a new points cover.
