Default Seat lock nut

Ok, I know there are a million locking devices for the single bolt style (2 up) seat mount. What about the solo seats that need a nut, like the C&C solo? Has anyone found a security lock for them? All I have found is these and they are not chrome and require a special socket to remove..

I think J & P cycles sells some.

If you get service done by someone other than your self, remember to give them the special tool. Speaking from experience.

On my C&C Solo, I have the same acorn nut.

Honestly, I not worried about it, same with my C&C Sports Touring 2up set up.

I do all my own work but I would still have to carry the tool with me on trips incase of an issue.
The only thing I found on JP Cycles was this... It would take some modification to make it work. It's made for the 2 up seat and that rear mount on the fender. Looks like I would have to cut the base off and weld it to the bracket. I also don't really like the lock part of it.

A bit pricey, but here's a cool seat lock by Robert Becker Designs. They also have for the 2-up seats and work the same way

I have to say, this design is pretty cool. I think I might have to change my mind and order one of these.

Thank you.

Thank you.
If you want to get the solo and 2-up, you can email Bob Becker and specify a single lock with the solo and 2-up screws. Save you some $$.
