Replaced mine with a hex bolt. Someone trying to steal my seat, usually wont have an Allen wrench. And a ball end Allen wrench is easier to use than a Phillips screw driver.

Just replaced my rear seat bolt on my 15 tri-glide with a 1/4 x 20 eye bolts 4 inch's long. Double nutted . Works great and you can remove it with just your hands.
Any bike running a tour pack can do this as you can not see it after installed. I think the earlier bikes may be a 1/4 x x24 thread.
I thought there ws a thread on here somewhere about this ,but couldn't find it.
