Default Seat Nuts

Putting a reara fender bib on my 2016 Fatboy. The OEM seat nuts are pretty crude looking, any suggestions on something more dressy."

I'm asking a bout the nuts (may be the wrong term) that hold the rear of the main seat on place and the front of the passenger pillion. But thanks for the suggestion on the other stuff.

It's the nut that usually connects the seat to the handlebars.

WOW only $27.00 for two chrome nuts! I used 1/4-20 nuts and soldered them inside a 45 ACP casing.
