Seriously though whichever one you get do what I did since they vibrate loose put a little blue lock tite on the threads and it will not come loose

Odd, mine has a spring loaded pin that snaps into the height adjustment hole.

I'm sure that it is a common thread. However not on this side of the pond where there's no ACE, Lowe's or Home depot. If anyone can tell me the size I can order one.

Mine is just out of warranty and to spend half a day and a tank of fuel to go to the dealer for a £5. Screw is a bit silly.

I believe that the Cvo comes with a hammock seat. The height is not adjustable but the forward push is.

In all seriousness, I assume you need reference item 2 part 3540 on Ronnie's web site.. It's only $1.00. So obviously, it's not too special. I would get it at the Harley Store.

Hard to tell anymore if it's metric or English anymore.
