The cable tie is for the 02 sensors. I installed sideshots on a sporty a few months ago. the bolt should be easy to get at ACE hardware. the only bolts bolt the bracket to the pipes, and the bracket to the bike. There are only 2 different sizes. You could also call v and h and tell them you lost one and see if they will send you one. Long distance from over there I guess. Thanks for your service.

I had a hell of a time getting the pipes to seat on the studs on the cylinders. I used a little extra muscle but fianally got it together after the wife ran away from the stuff I was throwing.

+1

The cable tie is just for the rear oxygyn sensor wire so it stays near the other wires and doesn't lay against the engine.
Other than that let me tell you that it is a pain in the *** to install by yourself. It took me like 6 hrs, (allot of walking away to collect myself) the fact that they are welded together makes them a pain to attach. But should go smoothly after that.
good luck and enjoy
