If it is the detachable sideplates then the plates should only have two holes in them but it will also have a notch cut out for the rear saddle bag bolt that does not touch the side plates at all. I will try to get pics up in a bit.

helps a lot fireman...cept I obviously dont have the right "heritage" detachable side plates. I mean it fits the bike, but covers the middle hole needed to attach the heritage bags with the easy bracket. My sideplate doesnt have that nifty notch you have, its solid chrome. Next question, what kind of machine shop can make that notch? By the way your bike looks beautiful and thanks for taking time from your busy day to assist.

I would just find a buddy with a plasma cutter. Easy way to fix. Or see if HD will exchange them.

The side mounting plates you have are for a fatboy I believe. If it was me I'd sell the ones you have (if they can not be returned where you bought them), and buy the correct ones. they show up on ebay fairly regularly. It seems that if you have the notch cut you risk having it rust or look hacked up.
