Sometimes simple things can be a royal PITA.

Was looking to add passenger pegs to my '75 FXE. Checked the threaded hole in the mount on the swing arm and it is 7/16 with a 14 pitch. I confirmed with my thread restorer kit, the 7/16 14 fits the threads like a glove.

According to the Harley parts manual the correct bolt for the passenger clevis could be a 1/4, 3/8 or 1/2". But not a 7/16". And I can't find a 7/16 14 threaded clevis on the inter webs.

What are the odds that the mounting hole was drilled and re-threaded?

 

if it were a real peg frame mount then it would have been a fine thread not a course one - and someone did do that

sears sells all kinds of thing to F up a Harley

 

Looks like 1/2-20 is the winner. Is there enough meat there to do so?

 

its already bigger in size but we would just make a adapter to down size it and loc tite / stake it in place - the 7/16 part of it and go back to what you can locally buy that everyone sells

 

Makes sense.... sort of like a female adapter from 7/16 to 3/8"...
