Please dont tell me you use a torque wrench for a seat bolt. Torque the valve stem caps too?

There should be a star washer under the bolt. Maybe you lost it.

Thanks everyone. I'm not gonna lose another one. Alotta great idea's.

I've never had my seat off but plan on taking it off & on alot next year. Got the bike in late August(in Ohio) so I didn't buy the leather piece to cover the holes for this year. Next year, everytime the wife stays home ----> the seat is coming off..!!!

She likes the thought of that too because I won't be able to throw a "ho" on the back...

Like I would even do someth'n like that...

Love ya honey
