Default Turn signal mounting stud
The stud on my rear left turn signal that mounts the signal to the bike is bent. Because of this, I need to order a new one. Is this a part that Harley would likely have available at a dealership? Or is this something I have to find online or somewhere else?

I plan on calling them in the morning, but in the mean time I'd appreciate a heads up. Also, in order to avoid sounding like a complete idiot, does this part have another name or is that basically it?

What year? If it's a stock piece I may have one. Maybe post a pic of it.

I haven't taken the trim off to investigate, but I thought it was just a bolt that could easily be removed?

Yeah, it should be a "through" bolt that runs through the pedestal and is threaded on each end. I have the ones that I took off of my 08 XLN. I assume they'll be the same...?

I can drop one in the mail for you if yours is the same.

All info indicates that they're all the same. Not sure if that's for certain.

Your local dealer should have a couple in stock.
