I was missing that bolt on my 06 FLHTCI when it was a year old. Actually I was missing the bolt on the other side also. It holds the plate that the front motor mount goes into. I took it to the dealer and they replaced them with no explanation of why they were missing. They also tried to charge me for the bolts and labor. I had to remind them the bike was only a year old. The mechanic told me on the side that he thought the bolts were over torqued at the factory and they probably broke when I hit a pot hole. Sorry I don't know what size they are. Check to make sure the bolt on the other side is still there.....
