I am sure it was the bolt, there was still pieces of rubber attached to the bolt when I looked. I guess they used one that was too long, I am not sure it requires any amount of force applied to it chew up the tire, just touching the tire alone is enough to do damage.
I agree about the different bolt setup. The guys at the triumph dealer told me to take it in, and they would "modify" it for me. Just annoying to spend that kind of money to and not have that taken into consideration when designing it.
As for the potholes.......it was more uneven road surfaces that made the hugger bounce, I try to avoid potholes, they are not condusive to getting ones knee down.

Do you have any pictures of the tire? If so, the guys at Fab need to be aware. It could be that the bolt picked up some flinging rubber. Mine was covered with mud after my last ride... It could still be that you got the tire into something nasty.
Just a tap from a bolt won't leave a groove in the tire... Just not enough contact time. I'm not trying to argue, just figure out what happened...
