Default Need Help 07 or newer Fatboy

I need someone with an 07 or newer Fatboy and a detachable windshield to measure center of bolt to center of bolt on the small bolts that hold the frame and windshield together. These are the bolts that are close to the windshield bag. Take a string and give me the measurement on the bolts that hold the upright brackets on the windshield. I’m looking to install a HD boom audio windshield speaker system, the parts dept is telling me there is a difference in the size between the 07 newer and an 04. Just curious what the difference actually is / maybe I can modify it to work. Thanks in advance for the help.

Here is a link to a picture showing the bolts and mounting points http://www.harley-davidson.com/brows...bmLocale=en_US

For the shield I'm currently using it is 11 1/2" center to center.

Hope this helps?
