Thanks I sure am glad I did not make things worse by forcing the broken bolt through the hull.On the 2004 sportster there is one bolt in the forward position that comes up from the bottom through the hull with a nut on the top side and then there are 3 bolts at the rear position in a triangular pattern that come up from the bottom and thread into rider plate.I am not sure if yours is the same.Good luck

I am not sure what my top speed is as my speedo has never worked but I am sure you are right I dont think it is anywhere close to 59 mph

I have a 2004 sportster and the front bolt for the intake grate has broken off.I removed the nut in the engine compartment which left a piece of the broken bolt still in the hull.Does the hull have threads in it as well as having the nut on the top side?I want to be sure before taking a punch to it as it feels fairly solid

Hi anything more on the fix for this problem I just bought a 2004 sportster that has the same problem
