 While me and my wife was riding our fatboys (her 2005 & mine 2004) we were on our first day of a 8 day road trip traveling on route 84 west near carmel ny, she developed a problem. all 5 of her chrome pulley bolts sheared off harley davidson p/n 94773-00a. got my boys to trailer her home. next day bought new hd wheel and parts to but the bike on the road. before bring the parts to my dealer i wanted to see if the original factory bolts fit the same as the chrome (94773-00a) did. i clean the yellow locktight off of the original bolt and without the pulley in place i hand-tighten the bolt . did the same with the 94773-00a bolt. they fit different. the original bolts fit with a slight movement when moving the bolt left to right. the 94773-00a bolt had a much more noticeable movement. showed my dealership and i am waiting for a reply from harley davidson. if you perform this test on your wheel make sure the bolt and the threads in the wheel are totally free of locktight. before i installed the 94773-00a bolts i purchased the softail service manual and a new torque wrench and red 262 locktight, i followed every step in the hd manual. *nm
