Bolt Size ?

[Thomas L]

I should not be having such a hard time here -- but does anyone know the correct bolt size ---- for holding the Harley Tri-Glide Ultra Seat down. Thanks..

1/4 X 20 ?

I am not positive but I think most of the HD large bikes have seat screws of 1/4 X 20.

1/4-20 it is...

:Agree: Get one two or three inches long, take two nuts and jam tighten them to expose about 1/2" of thread from the end. You have a "handle" to start the threads in the #%$!@# hole. :gah:

Maybe I'm lucky...

I have no problem with that little un-seeable bolt/Phillips head bolt. I used a small piece of Milk jug I used an about one inch square cut a X in the center and trapped the bolt in between it and mount strap. A long shank Phillips screw driver works great same piece of plastic has been there since 2013 when I read about using it on this forum then. If you position the seat properly it is a simple operation. just sayin... :Shrug: good luck wrench safe Fred

Thats what i did on my 11 T/G.......For the very few times i had the seat off it worked well... And IMO if i made it too easy to remove the seat.....I might have found the seat missing when i parked at the Great Unwashed Parking lot...AKA Walmart...
