One of the kits (either bag or directional reloctor) had the bolt in it I also used a spacer if I emember correctly. I didn't use the relocator kit as mine are on a Dyna layback plate frame. I am assuming these are H-D bags.

Thanks guys ,looks like the top shock bolt will have to be a longer one and it does have some with the supports but it is way larger than the one thats there now.Also looks like lt has to come out from the back side toward frame and is hard to get to.ButI've been noticed,one project useually requires 3 new projects.
