Default Seat bolt inserts on softail frame

Does anybody know the part number for the bolt inserts that are on the side of the softail frame to bolt the seat down? I have searched the web and called 2 Harley dealers, but they can't find a part number for them. I purchased a Heritage seat and want to use the spring loaded bolts that come with the seat. It will make it easy to get the seat off without having to use a wrench.

Hi Fatboy,
Just had the same run around with that part number, the HD P/N is 52720-00A nut seat retentction x2
they cost me about $25.00 over here in England its a big rip off trying to running a Hog over this side of the pond,
but I would not put my butt on any other bike.

Keep your wheels turning,

It took me 4 days to get the right part number. Made a few calls, searched the web. Just glad I found the parts. I had the inserts in 3 days. Now I can change out all 3 of my seats in a matter of minutes. No tools needed. Ride safe.

Thanks. Is that a Diamond Back seat on your bike? I was going to get one for my Fatboy, but didn't know if it would hold up on long trips. I was told that the Heritage seat is good on the long haul , so thats why I went that direction. Also Nice Ride yougot there. I have seen a lot of nice bikes on this forum and get a lot of ideas for my own. Also plenty of folks that share thier knowledge for the good of others.
