Default Two dollar mod
I was in wallmart earlier and found these theft bolts. They come 2 in a package and include a little wrench for tightening. I replaced the seat hold down screw with one and it looks great, and makes my stock seat a little more secure. Don't think anyone would really want to steal my seat, but who knows. Looking around the bike I found a few other places they would work and look good. And they are currently the cheapest thing I have bought for the bike (I don't have a cig lighter so I can't use the info from the one dollar mod thread)

Here is a pic of the new seat hold down...



Here is the package they come in. and the little wrench

Just what department in Walmart did you find these in? I hate roaming around in that store to find something. Thanks.....Tom Woodgeard - Bradenton (sunny in the low 80's), Florida

They were in the automotive section, near the bolt on tuner crap (leds, stickers, shifter *****, etc...)

No problem fitting the threads already on the bike? They have two different threads available on these bikes as I recall.

Not sure if this $2 mod will mingle well with my $2500 alligator bob seat.

j/k, this is exactly what I am looking for.
