Default Locking screw for seat
Hi all,
Just had a custom seat made for the King. I did a search for this topic, but results are from years ago and the company everyone suggested is either out of business or I can't find it. I'm looking for some sort of lockable screw for the seat. Couple of companies have lockable saddlebag screws, but nothing for seats. If anyone has any info or suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

And what make them any more secure than a regular bolt? Crooks can buy those little bits too.

Fill the hole of the head of the bolt with a bit of silicon, pic it out when you need to take the seat off. Hopefully not at the side of the road....
