Default My new Breakout
Got my new lady home. Few questions. What is the answer to those bolts that hold the solo seat down? Is anything being made that looks better than the two bolts?

I appreciate the replies gents. I really like the look of this factory seat, with the exception of the “Frankenstein neck bolts”. Lol

I will probably stick with this seat if I can find a way to dress it up a bit. It appears no one has made a way to lower the *** of this thing yet?
