I put the sissy bar of the 03 on the 06 when I first got it. It was a bit fiddly to get the bolts out, but managed. OK it was an absolute pain in the backside, hanging on the bar to get them off, I'm surprised we didn't break a bolt. When I went to put it back on the 03 (I've gone to a soloseatandracksetup on the 06) and the bolts wouldn't go back in...I'd put them in a bag while the front end was repaired. A tap was used, and some rust came out.
I dunno what the answer is. Can't grease them or eventually they'll come out. That'll cause more problems if they do.

Gina 03 America - Pretty stock - except the TBS wheel... 06 America - missing, presumed in bits. With it's TBS wheel... 09 America - It's very blue....
