I have never trailered it. The floorboards were on as from the dealed, so if over torqed, It was done there. I am waiting for as response from the service manager, for warrenty or not.
By the way the service tech at Harley said " he had never heard of the bolt breaking before" mine was the first. HA HA I has never happened before. He started looking for scratches on my bike to see if I dropped it.
Harley is going to warranty the broken bolt and lost floorboard.
They agreed it is a defect. Drilling out the bolt and replacing the lost floorboard.
Just in case anyone else has this problem.
Lost my right side one about a month ago. Warranty but not for the Kury adjustable peg. Put the new extended mount with the 010 bolt system. Ouch!!! That Kury peg was expensive. Service manager said he has seen a few do this.
dan1127, was your mounting bolt chrome or non chrome plated? I was just wondering if the chrome plating makes the bolts more brittle? I too don't want one snapping when the wife mt/dismounts.
Chrome ain't gonna make the bolt brittle, it's an elctroplate not a temper.

I think hydrogen embrittlement is one of the biggest problems with chrome bolts , making them brittle. That comes from chroming or just about any plating process.
