Default Does This Look Normal (Pics)
I was washing my Train today & noticed that it looked like a bolt or something was missing. Take a look at the pics. Look where the piece of blue tape is & tell me if a bolt or something should be there. It looks like something should be threaded in there. Last pic is a clean bike.

Thanks!

I'm just guessing here but could there have been a bracket there for the stock exhaust system?

I wouldn't worry about it. My 2011 Deluxe has the same empty hole.

I believe my Heritage has the same hole. I wouldn't worry about it.

I do believe that's the mounting hole for the Reverse Veliberflitzel. Better call your Harley Dealer and get another one right away!

No, I think it's for the Flux Capacitor...
