I ordered and received Moroso 39010 hood pin kits. I was looking for a quick disconnect for the HD rigid bags on my Fat Bob.
Thread pitch is 3/8-16 - the same as mounting hardware for bags and back rests. With a nut all the way to the top of the pin it is a perfect fit for the saddle bags; I just have to cut the threads off to match the length (front and rear are different. I am going to buy chrome nuts and try it out. I don't see any reason it won't work perfectly. I was a toolmaker/model maker in another life. The only draw dack is the pins are aluminum, not chrome. I don't see stregth as being an issue, just cosmetics but then again you could get them plated. With the bags off they extend @ 1 1/4" past the quick mounts for the sissy bar.

Cup Holder
Heading out on a trip and wanted a cup holder...
Total cost was about $3 worth of materials I had at home. Used some locally "grown" and naturally tanned moose leather and sinew.
All hand cut, hand tooled, hand stitched and hand dyed.

Not what I'd call a recommended mod, but I broke my battery terminal while tightening and replaced it with the battery out of a $20 dollar Schumacher XP400 jump starter. Starts just fine as long as the battery is warm and is still working fine after a year of daily riding. I would imagine the larger http://www.walmart.com/ip/Schumacher...tlyViewedItems 750 amp batteries would be perfect.
As for me, I'm going to add two of these in parallel to my existing walmart battery to relieve the cold weather performance issues.

first post on this thread so sorry if i mess up in some way.
so ive never liked the brake light that came on my 06 bob and after looking and looking and not finding one i liked in my price range, i decided i could just use an old front turn signal. i had it lying around with the smoke lens so i just painted it black and bought a red led light for it $8.99 at autozone. all i did was wire it in and mount it through an existing hole that i had to drill out a little bit bigger. then used my lisence plate to cover the hole from the old light until i get around to filling it. well here it is easy and cheap.
