I have a 2000 883 sportster. I want to eliminate the mid foot peg bracket on the primary side. Can anyone tell me the specifications for replacement bolts that are on the bottom of the primary when the bracket is removed. My local H.D. dealership had no clue. They told me to go to home depot and find bolts there.
