Does anyone (Pash :mrgreen: ) know the proper name for these bolts and where to obtain them ?

Seat quick releases? Do TM sell them?

I thought about making some but struggled to understand what I needed to access under the seat that I couldn't wait the two minutes it takes to remove the screws :D .

Thanks Kev & Pash, when at Twin's I'll ask, don't like
going through their site.

My charging connector for the battery is under the saddle
but will change that to the rear compartment.

I was considering a simpler design (when I should have been working). When do you need them dearest Walt?

Interested if you are making some Pash as I always though the bolt location was a bit rubbish

Glad it's not just me. I wanted to buy some stuff for a bike once and couldn't get on with their site at all. Went elsewhere in the end. Others have told me the same. I don't know if it's still the same, but I've not tried since.

I struggle with it. The search comes up with thousands of stuff, despite what you put in the search box it seems to show you their whole catalogue.

About Twin; it's a 40 min. drive for me, I just visit them and ask Budje my silly questions.
Help offered if anyone needs some.

made mine, pushed out the steel insert from the seat, drilled a hole through the head of a bolt, fitted a R clip, and the spaced the bolt from the frame to get the correct height. then stood back and just stared at my Buell for about an hour.
