Seat Bolt
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.

I know that there are several folks who have done similar things for the seat bolt. I am always looking for anything to make like easier.
Thank you for your idea, might just try it out.

I used a paino key on one for awhile. I had a couple aftermarket ***** but they kept falling out, after two I went back to harley bolt.. Using a screw driver is not awful

A riding buddy's wife also rides. She has one of those novelty ones shaped as one of those adult toys, so anything is possible. For her it was easy to get off.
