On the Brukus site that seat screw head looks like just a regular torx bit. A serious thief would have that bit.

Okay, I see that the screw head is definitely a security type of item, with the center of it having a "pin" so you can`t stick a regular torx bit on it.

Come on! 15 bucks for the screw? Just go to local hardware store and buy this. I am not familiar with US pricing but over here it is sold for like 1 dollar for 2 pounds of these screws!!!

I guess if you bought around ten or so cable locks you don't have to worry about anything being stolen. It will just take about a 1/2 hour to lock up your bike when you park it then the same to ride it. By then the days over better just leave it parked in the garage.

I bought it more for the black painted cap. Looks better than the stock screw when I have my tour pack off.

If a "professional" wants you bike, he's going to get it. The best you can do is not make it easy for kids and small time thieves to get your stuff and keep your insurance policy paid.
