One additional trick in the future
I am glad the cap mystery was resolved. However, if in the future you run into an issue where you have a legit issue of this sort where let’s say the cap is inexistent and you have to hold a stud in place so it does not spin, use a dremel tool with a fine disc and cut a flat head screwdriver slot (chiesel would be too hard). That will also vibrate the hardware and make a nice slot for your large flat head to hold the stud in place.

Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy your time here.
This is a thirteen year old thread, the OP has more than likely sold his Sporty years ago.
The screws that mount the front fender are 5/16-18 x 1-1/4" long with flange nuts.
