I noticed the bolt that hold my seat to the fender is missing. I have no idea how it fell out. Does anyone know where i can get a bolt to fit? Its from a 02 883xlc.

 

any hardware store....or you can go to the stealership if you feel you have too much money in your wallet

 

Consider upgrading to the threaded twist-off bolt.... If you remove your seat fairly regularly

 

threaded twist-off bolt?

 

maybe use some locktite on your next bolt too

 

I'd suggest getting a bolt- today.
I wouldn't ride like that.

 

Should be a 1/4-20 thread. I have the one that has a thumb screw. works great. Do not use loctite. I'd use a piece or two of nylon fishing string to help keep it snug. Used to use that trick years ago with my old triumph to keep from loosing the rocker box plugs.

 

The screw is 1/4 x 20. A knurled thumb screw is convenient if you remove the seat very often. A neoprene washer or O-ring slid up on the screw threads works well as a lock washer. NO LOCTITE

 

Thanks for all the help. 0.45 at the hardware store.

 

I have the twist-off replacement. Was only $15 at the dealer. I change from my stock Sundowner alot. One is for in town (105th dual leather seat) and other makes the wifes butt hurt less. Its still a nice item to have after you remove the stock screw a couple times anyway since mine got knurled from the screwdriver.
