I've searched around quite a bit and can't seem to find anything of interest. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of cool thumbscrews for the seat? I was thinking something with a spike of sorts on it. I have a solo seat on the bike now and would like to dress it up a little with something kind of cool.

 

If u want a spike, get a pike nut and cut a piece of threaded rod down and screw it into the pike nut with red lock tite on it. U will then be all set and will be able to remove it and the rod will stay in the nut.

 

e-bay has loads of them, from spikes to dice to bullet casings!

 

Not what you want, but I got tired of everytime I want to take the seat off my ultra, I had to have a long screwdriver. So I went to Menard's today and bought a black **** with the bolt in it. Guess someone could steal my seat, but why would they?

Had a nice HD one and the vibrations loosened it and it fell out somewhere going down the road. Since I have a tour pak on the SG, it was out of sight and didn't get checked for tightness on a regular basis. I recommend a little blue loc-tite if you use one or check it before each ride.

 

Like Viperr817 suggested, make your own. I took a chrome dice, drilled it, tapped it and epoxied a 1/4 x 20 stud into it. I use a rubber washer under it and have never had it come loose. In fact, I swear it tightens up over time. The dice I used looks good and is easier to remove and install than any other seat bolt I have had before on my Ultra.

 

Here's 561 items for you to look at. I'm sure one of them will work.

Personally I use a stainless steel hex head as I would like to keep my seat and I don't think most theives are into carrying a set of allen wrenches with them.

 

Heres you spike but it really scares me!!!!

Ain't gonna be no Long Ranger or Roy Roger's mount with that thing in place. Can we say no more "roids" if you miss.
