Should work fine with the OEM bolts of a fatboy.

You can pretty much take the bolt down to any hardware store and get them in the length you need.... maybe even in chrome...

When you talked to the dealer, did they mention what size the bolts were? Are they 1/2"-13? Or smaller? It's been a while since I've had my bags off.
