Hi everybody. I finally got around to taking some pics and pulling the bolt out again. Here is what I found.
They filled the chamfer with silicone and the silicone is holding the washer in place.
On a side note: does anybody know how I can remove the chrome from the plate? Or any other suggestions on what I should do with it. Thanks.

Was Paulie Jr workin on your bike 
Replace them with the stockers or stainless flat heads.
As for the chrome. I have heard there is a way to remove it with electrolosis kinda the reverse of plating.
I had to restore a Norton, and the owner had chromed EVERYTHING and wanted it back to polished. I used a pneumatic 90 with scotch bright pads.
I went through about 2 boxes for lower fork tubes, covers and other parts. So it wont take you much for the two plates... |

A good plating shop can de-chrome parts for you.
I had a swing arm bracket done for an S1, it came out PERFECT.
There wasn't a speck of chrome or copper left on the part. It was so clean you could see the tool marks on the billet piece.
When all the plating is off, the finish is a dull aluminum color. It was the easiest hunk of aluminum I've ever polished.
I used AAA Metal Finishing in St. Paul (651-228-1118) Ask for Raul Rivas.
They also do stainless steel electro polishing.
My 3 parts cost $30 if memory serves.
I think any decent plating shop can do this as well.
