Default Seat Bolt
Can anyone recommend a decent replacement for the standard seat bolt on a 99 Ultra? I always seem to drop the dammed thing when I have to remove the seat to work on my baby and it's always a pain to remove. Do they make a taller one?

Try the one from Custom Dynamics. I have that one. Makes it easier to get at bolt with out a screwdriver.

Do you open your tour box lid to make it a straight shot?

You know what? I have never even considered doing this to make it easier to get at that seat bolt... Eye opening! Thanks!

I went to hardware store and got a piano key. Which is a bolt with a head you can turn by hand. Its under the tourpak and can't see.

I have this one and it is a wonderful seat bolt! You can use your fingers or hex wrench.

The only thing you need to watch is the washer can come off, I ended up ordering spares in case since it provides tension on the bolt.
