Missing bolt - 2010 FLSTC
Any thoughts on this one? I noticed it as I was covering the bike up.
Stuff Bucket - keithhu's Photos I cant imagine it worked itself loose, I certainly didn't take it off. I dont think this comes off as part of the 1K service (meaning the dealer fogot to put it on)- ??

Re: Missing bolt - 2010 FLSTC
You'll find that open hole on a lot of bikes. Have no idea what it's used for, there was another post a while back on the same thing.

Re: Missing bolt - 2010 FLSTC
I'd be curious myself what it's used for, maybe a call to the MOCO to find out would be in order?

Re: Missing bolt - 2010 FLSTC
maybe it is a hole to screw in an eye to transport/secure the bike while transporting. Just a guess.

Re: Missing bolt - 2010 FLSTC
I can't speak for the MOCO but as a toolmaker sometimes holes are put in as a way to locate a machining process or to provide a hold for a machining process.

Re: Missing bolt - 2010 FLSTC
I have a similar hole on the right side of my bike.
I'm with HDDon on this one - I have always suspected it was due to the machinery when initially it was put together at the factory. CatWoman
