Default Right Passenger Peg

Hey!

I purchased a 2012 Fatboy and the bike doesn't have any passenger pegs. I went to a HD retailer and purchased what is needed to install them. I had no issue with the left side and I am puzzle as to where it should go on the right side. The bolt is longer for the right side and I have a pretty good idea where it should be mounted. The problem is that there is a bolt already deep in the hole where it should go and I cannot remove it with Allen keys or Hex. The bolt appears to hold together two piece of the frame. Am I on the right track for the installation? Should I drill the bolt out to be able to put the peg? Any help or comments is appreciated.

Thanks

You may be able to get some clues from one of the online parts websites, such as Ronnies, which shows diagrams of the parts involved. Otherwise contact your dealer! Alternatively call in the Softail forum and ask in there. They are too busy yacking to call over here!
