I'd take the other one out and go to ACE hardware and buy a Stainless bolt the same size. I did this myself, Use removeable loctite when putting it back in.

Two thoughts, do you have a MC salvage business in your area? Look on line for replacement parts. Easier to find and likely cheaper than a dealership.

Good luck,

The HD catalog has a whole section of chrome bolts. I don't know what size the sideplate requires, but you might want to check the catalog (and possibly educate your LHD) to see if an exact replacement is available.

I really don't believe that just the bolt is not for sale. I've had to replace specific pieces off of kits before and never have had a problem buying JUST THAT PIECE or BOLT.

NOTE: I now this is an old thread...leaving my info here for future reference...if that's ok.
