Default Holes in frame

I have a 2006 Night Train. It has Puall Yaffe exhaust pipes. The pipes require the passenger peg on the side be removed. What can I use to plug that hole and the holes from where the stock exhaust was mounted?

Ive looked everywhere on the internet and have not found anything. Help, the rusted threads look pretty bad.

You could just run a nut in there or get some of the christmas tree push ins that they use to hold fender wells in cars on.

I got a treatment that turns rust into a primer. After it dried, I put the HD plastic christmas trees in the holes.

I like to replace any bolts I pull off with stainless steel hardware. For an empty hole just use a polished acorn nut on a threaded stud. Its a little more elaborate than the push plugs, but it looks better and if you put a little anti-sieze on the threads it won't rust on you.

Here's a link to how I do it. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/showt...32#post3306932
