I like the thumbscrews. So I just use the one I got from Mustang when I ordered my seat. They have a pretty nice one that does the trick for me.

here is the link to the HD product page with picture. Bolt looks much better in person by the way. part number is:51676-97A

Not necessarily. You have to remember that $19 doesn't mean the same thing to some of the members on this site, as it does you. It's all relative.

^ It's still $1 less than $20 in anybody's pocket. Must be nice.

I don't care if you're Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, whatever.

19 bucks for a 1/4-20 screw is absurd.

Even if it DOES have a "nifty" logo.

Still LMAO.

A $20 1/4-20 bolt is ridiculous..no matter who you are or what logo is on it.

I'd be pretty damn careful buddy. You start worrying about every single screw and bolt head and next thing you know you've got a weighed down chrome ***** that ends up one day on Craigslist with an attempt to rationalize the overpricing with the all too familiar phrase "i've got $xxxxxxxx invested, $xxxxx in chrome alone!"

And to echo the other comments; $20 for a friggin screw if f'ing ridiculous. Hopefully the guy was just making a joke about all HD parts being ridiculously priced but "having a nifty logo."

All that being said, that green gem screw on the dragonfly paint looked pretty dang slick, haha.
