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.

I'll pick them up this weekend, if thats ok ? :mrgreen:

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.
