Default 2016 FXDLS Front ROTOR Bolts??? Please help

Hello All!!
I have been riding for a pretty long time. I have a number of scooters in my stable from a 1960 Pan to a 2016 FXDLS.
I am not great with the newer stuff. I have a question that I am hoping someone can answer... The front Rotor bolts on the FXDLS... What part # are they? They have a shoulder, But I have seen sites list the Colenys without the shoulder fitting my ride. I would prefer to go with the Non-Shoulder, but I am not sure if that is a No-No

Alloy Boltz originally told me to get these...
https://alloyboltz.com/product/1984-...otor-bolt-kit/

Then I sent them a picture of my bolt and they said I needed these...
https://alloyboltz.com/product/2002-...otor-bolt-kit/

So I got them... They didn't fit right so I ate it and put them in a draw. Has anyone here actually changed a Rotor on the Lowrider / Lowrider S and can tell me what quality bolt they used to replace it? Right now I am running the stock ones after the Rotor Change, HOWEVER, I am thinking of painting my wheels and I will need to remove the rotors again and I kind of don't want to use the same bolts 3 times. The manual reads that it is a 1-time use thing, I think that is a little crazy, but... He;ll... I might as well.

Any thoughts folks?


Oooo - This is my first post.

HI!

Looks like you will need the shoulder bolt with a washer. OEM part links below. I don't know what would be a good aftermarket alternative, I'm sure someone else will respond and have some recommendations.

OEM would be the simplest solution. You know you’ll get the right ones first time. Look them up here, and order them from surdyke or similar.

The one time thing is because they stretch and repeating it cause loss of strength. Considering they serve a relatively important role, that’s why.

I’ve been thinking on the Ness bbk for a while now, and seeing it on your bike clinched it. Now I’m looking another six bill spend. Thanks a lot...

I first put the Ness rotor on my 2010 FXD and it was Night and Day difference.
Then when I acquired the FXDLS, I read a number of posts that stated that the Ness caused extreme shakes and did not work with the Dual disk on the FXDLS.
I decided to take a chance...
It WORKS GREAT!
I then contacted Ness and told them that the set up worked. They stated that they had a run of disks that were bad. So there it is! IT WORKS> Ignore what you read in the threads - I am living proof. It does make a slight wine, but that will die down in a few hundred miles. Their rotor is just breaking in.

Cool. I put one on a 2018 FXLR with a single disc and it worked well also. There were a few silly members who couldn't accept that it would make a difference. Nevertheless it was great and I was thinking about it. Like I said, its now decided. Once my relocation is done I'll get them on the same time I finally install my GP cartridges.
