If I have worked this out you are need of two bolts that will hold the bars to that bracket?

Just go to any decent supplier with the bars and it should be straight forward to find what you need. Imperial bolts you will want grade 8 for metric you will want grade 12.9.

Oh and get washers so as to not gouge up the bottom side of the bracket. Apply some Loctite 243.

I have a concern that with the USA living in probably the only Imperial-inch land left on the planet that our Chinese friend will have problems getting suitable screws. I'd be very surprised if they are metric!

Hold on - come on chaps, keep up! These bars are designed to be installed direct to a stock top tree such as on an Iron, so the original bolts from other Sporties should fit, #3605, Bolt. Can anyone confirm the correct size, from their Parts Book?

ashbonering, your local Harley dealer should be able to confirm the correct size of screw and supply them, using the H-D part number above, along with #6590HW, Washer, to fit.

I think he already knows basically the correct size and knows where he can get typical Hex Head Cap screws, but he wants to get the bolts shown in the photo (Socket Head Cap Screws) ... as I interpreted from below
