After paying what I think is a lot of cash for a new chopped tour pak, it finally came today, i rush down to the dealer, pick it up, look it over, all is well.
Get home start the mounting process, and they forgot to include most of the mounting hardware, there was 3 sets of bolts, none of which were the correct size, no nuts, no washers?? What gives?

And I also found that the bolts were too short.
There is nothing special about those bolts, nuts or washers though.
Just stop at your local hardware store and pick up what you need for less than $5.00.
For me that was much closer and less hassle than driving 50 miles back to the HD dealer.

As usual I can find what I need on these forums, and find that I'm not alone.
Having just received my chopped tour pack tonight I was a little disappointed as well. I mean I guess it kind of came with mounting hardware. The 2 up quick detach plate did come with mounting bolts that were 7/8" long (and came with nuts/washers), the tour pack came with bolts 1" long (no nuts/washers), and the required length to mount everything is about 1.5" long... Oh well off to the hardware store in the morning I guess.
