Default Air deflector

Anybody know off the top of their Dome what size and thread pitch the bolts are that are used to mount an air deflector to the back of the Triple Tree under the fairing on a 2008 Street Glide?

pretty sure 1/4" NC

if you have not yet used the holes, they will be painted up- use a tap to chase the threads- or use a couple of sacrificial bolts

or use grade 8 and go in a turn, back out a 1/4

I tried the triple tree air deflector and then the ones that mount on the fairing on my SG still have to use one of my wife's fancy hair bands or I get whipped to death.
