This is a great question. I have already been to 2 different local dealers for the bolt. Both times they told me, no problem it would work. Both times the bolt they gave me has been too short. So its time for one more trip back and hopefully we can get it right this time.

Guys, you need a one inch long button head bolt that is 1/4x20 threads. You also need a plastic washer and a chrome washer to make it look really nice and keep from scratching the chrome up on the tail of the seat.

Hope this helps guys.

Thanks. I knew the 1/4x20 threads already, but wasn't sure on the length. I have the chrome and plastic washers but the last bolt was just a little short. I hope to remedy this soon.

banginTwins, you might want think twice about that rear passenger pillion for your wife for that seat. I had it and it is very narrow, after one ride my girlfriend told me to get rid of it.

when I bought my bike that seat was on it along with the bolt. you should be able to do a internet search for chrome bolts and find something.

Finally made it to the dealer for my bolt. The guy looked it up and said its a 1 1/4" 1/4x20 thread. Of course don't forget to make it chrome to match the tail piece. Ok sounds good. Come to find out this is the only place Harley uses this dimension bolt in chrome with the low profile head, so it is now ordered. I should pick it up on Monday. For just being one little bolt, this has been a pain to get the right one. Oh well, its on its way, and so is riding season.
