Slim strut bolt help needed

I am removing quick connect set up on slim to install bowman sissy and was wondering what size bolts I am going to need to re-install fender strut set-up. Thanks for any and all help on this.

Shorter...most likely the original stock bolts, unless there are spacers involved.

According to the spec sheet on my install instructions for docking hardware on my 2013 Slim, the bolt size and pitch are 3/8 - 16. the docking hardware ones are 1-3/4" and 2"... so you'd definitely want shorter than that. I'm guessing the stock ones are 1" or 1-1/4" probably.
