frankc Posted August 22, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 22, 2011 Good Morning Everyone, I took a 300 mile run this past weekend and somehow lost both of my front seat bolts. Anybody have a quick fix for this? Or do I need to get the OEM replacements! Thanks Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Bob Posted August 22, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 22, 2011 Take a look in the member classifieds. Seems I heard of someone making thumb screw type replacements? Later, Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard Posted August 22, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 22, 2011 I have not used the seat nuts for quite a while. The seat stays on just fine without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody have a quick fix for this? Or do I need to get the OEM replacements! Thanks Frank Bolts? What model of bike is this? On my RSV I have combination nuts holding my riders saddle to the frame....the studs are mounted to the seat base and would be hard to lose.

steamer Posted August 22, 2011 Share #7 Posted August 22, 2011 1/4-20 nylon wing nuts from lowes or home depot or any hardware store. just cross thread them on. after that they will screw on and off just fine.about 40 cents each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted August 22, 2011 Share #10 Posted August 22, 2011 You can use just a flat washer and a 2 inch long piece of rubber vaccumm hose on each side...... You can turn the hose to twist it on or off...and it will be very hard to PULL it off.. cheap too.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted August 22, 2011 Share #11 Posted August 22, 2011 Eat another gallon of ice cream and the seat will stay on just fine......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midnightsunrider Posted August 23, 2011 Share #12 Posted August 23, 2011 I haven't used Nuts or anything else on my '99 for a few years. And at just north of 275 I haven't felt the seat move a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marczing Posted August 23, 2011 Share #13 Posted August 23, 2011 Just looked under my seat to see what you were talking about and damned if mine weren't gone too.....guess I'm going to Lowes too:) Good Morning Everyone, I took a 300 mile run this past weekend and somehow lost both of my front seat bolts.

frankc Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share #14 Posted August 24, 2011 Keith, The drawer knobs worked perfect. I just screwed them over the seat studs and they tapped themselves on. Thanks for the great suggestion although i did like the one about eating another gallon of icecream....LOL LOL Thanks Again Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
