Ran into my first problem with my ultra classic...hope my "forum family" can help me with this one...
Tour pack, '98 ultra classic anni' edition...tour pack mounting frame cracked...found a new one on ebay...ordered it, got it, set it on bench...today, finally got my "alone" time to rip off the broken one...(confession time: it was cracked on one side and I rode for a month to work before the other side finally cracked. lol)...upon pulling off the "pack", I noticed that the original has a sort of pop rivet-fastening style nut that did not come with the replacement.... Full circle to the problem now...Does anyone know the actual term for these style nuts, are they available, and where I might be able to buy them? As of now, I'm without my tour pack, wiring zip tied under my seat which is a stock set up which looks god-forsaken-AWFUL! lol
Help me out my family!

 

Your description sounds like a Tuesday nut. Someone with a similar bike may have a better answer.

 

Good Lord, Tuesday nut? Smart Phone distracted operator : T nut. T nut.

 

Your local hardware store may stock these unusual nuts. Meaning a Tru-Value or Ace type place.

 

post a pic. Could it be a solid rivet? Ran into them on my tour pack when disassembling for paint.

 

Sounds like you are talking about a "Rivnut" They work a lot like a pop rivet and the installation is similar. Google it you will come back with more than you ever wanted to know.

Here is the clearest picture I could get the phone to take of it.

 

Yep that's a Rivnut

 

Yep again.
You will need a rivnut tool to install them.

 

When putting the armrest on mine, I just drilled through and nut and bolted it back on.
