Default Anyone use seat locks?


The rear part of the seat, where you have the one screw that goes into the fender nut. Anyone have some type of lock so someone can't just remove the screw easily and swipe your seat? Something lockable to replace the screw in the photo.

Mount a bracket under the seat with a cable to the frame and a lock.

Another reason I like my Corbin heated seat... besides being very comfortable, having heat when it gets cold, but the seat gets locked onto bike.

It is chrome and you get the torx bit. At least it isn't a HD (hundred dollar) LOL

I can see this as a solution, only thing I would be concerned is someone taking the screw out, and not knowing the middle of the seat is locked to the frame, would yank up on the rear of the seat and possibly break the seat pan.
Plus it would have to be done on the rear seat for CVO or two piece seats. I have the 14 RK CVO 2 piece.

Lots of great ideas.

Still I have one question - who is experiencing stolen seats. Doesn't seem to be happening in my area.

I agree; however, I did have a Hammock seat stolen. I sold it and it never made past Fed Ex's warehouse in Bloomington CA. If you ship something in an HD box make sure you remove the HD part number label.
