You guys obviously have your priorities all screwed up. For twenty bucks I can buy nine cold beers at the sleasy joints I hang out at and still have enough left to buy a two dollar bolt.

After a few trips to the urinal you'll only have memories, I'll have a nice screw. To each his own. LOL

Priorities
Why does anyone care what anyone spends on anything, as long as it isn't their money. You could say the same thing about buying an overpriced, underpowered american made motorcycle. Everyone has their own opinions. I'm sure that people think that we are idiots for paying what we did for our rides but you know what, I really don't care. It's all about what makes you happy during your onw go around on this planet. Enjoy life while you can and as they say, you can't take it with you when you leave! I'm more pissed about the government taking my hard earned money and giving it to people who are nothing but burdens to society that have no plans on changing that, but we can save that for another discussion.

Wow, a lot of ranting and raving over the cost of seat screws. Maybe I should start a thread asking what the fastest color is (flat black, duh).
Welcome to the forum Philbun! If you can satisfy your mod-fix with a $20 seat screw go for it. You'll be getting off a lot cheaper than most of us.
For what it's worth I have one of the $20 seat screws. It totally rocks and I think it even added a little more oomph to the top end. Do what I did though. Wait til your buddy with the pimped out Fat Boy buys one on his quest to chrome saint-hood and then just swap it out with your chincy philips head screw when he's not looking.
Cheers
