Spacer Size

Anybody know the size (length) of the spacers to mount the HD light bar on a Fat Boy. The spacers go between the light bar bracket and fork.

Thanks in advance.

Or if someone wouldn't mind just measuring them, that would work also. Probably the same on any 00 or later softail like the Deluxe or Heritage.

Thanks, do you know what the bottom one is also? I thought I saw somewhere that it was 1/4".

Glad I checked too. I thought it would 5/16 spacer ID since that's the bolt size.

Thanks again.

Parts manual shows no spacer on the bottom. It's built into the light bar. You can use a 5/16 inside dia, but if you actually measure it, it's probably 11/32 to give a little play around the bolt.....

OK, thanks. I think there are a couple versions of this light bar, ones with the lower spacer welded in and others where it is a separate part. I think the one I'm getting needs a spacer but I'll wait till it arrives to see.

Moco is pretty diligent about making it as difficult as possible to not buy everything kitted and new from them. I'm also trying to convert my windshield for the lightbars which simple means replacing the brackets on the windshield. New brackets are nearly $100 so I thought I'd just pick up a used windshield and scavenge the brackets. Unfortunately, it's hard to be sure what will fit. Brackets from an FLSTC should be the same per the P&A catalog (for a replacement) but the original brackets for an FLSTC have a different P/N. What a pain.

Thanks again for the help.
