Default Seat Security Screw???

About 3 weeks ago someone posted a thread about these. Can't seem to find it. It was a liitle fancy with a wrench...not a allen type.

Any help???? Thanks....Jerry

I'm not sure if you're talking about the same one or not, but when I ordered my amp and speakers from Dr. Vtwin they sent me one for free, along with a free t-shirt as well! I haven't used mine as I'm afraid I'd lose the wrench to remove it and be screwed!

Wasn't Burkus...I've spoke to them and they only have the allen type. The one posted was almost like a spanner (closed) wrench in Black and Yellow package (I think)...The screw was pointed and a little fancy. Jeff is it the same as yours?

Go to napa or a fastener store and pick up a security torx in stainless steel. I think its 1/4 20 thread by 1/2 long.
