Default 68t swap pulley bolts problem

Was mocking things up on the ‘09 Nightster pulley swap on my ‘07 street glide and stock bolts (‘07) are to long. Do I have to use sportster pulley bolts? Didn’t read anything about this everywhere I researched on this swap.

Shorter bolts are required when using the sportster pulley, .25 shorter IIRC

I’d like to get 12 point bolts. Can’t I just get bolts that fit and ‘09 Nightster?

Any help finding that that would be great.
