    Could one of you guys with a '86-'99 FL softail measure the center to center distance between the bolt holes that hold the sissy bar mount plates to the fender strut for me? I'm trying to find some that don't have the turn signal opening. I think Heritage or Fatboy side plates will do the trick, but I don't have one handy to measure. My bolt holes are 9-1/4". Thanks!

    I may have a set of a 90 fatboy, I'll have to look and see if they have the turn signal hole. If your interested let me know.

    The '90 Fatboy parts might work. Just need to know bolt hole dimensions for now. If they're 9-1/4" apart let me know. Thanks.
