My thumb screw actually fell out of my bike. Never trusted the replacement I bought. There is no locking washer. I put the old phillips head back on.

I thought you got a two warranty from the dealership. So, you should have a year left on it now or am I missing something here. You did mentioned that your bike was a 2009 right?
Some of you guys may want to re read the whole thread and take a look at the Service Bulletin that Dawg posted. The early seats for for the OP's bike have a defective/ poorly designed seat mounting tab. HD has changed th design and offered a service bulletin to change out the tab under warranty. It has NOTHING to do with the way the original poster rides, sits, or re positions himself. It's a MoCo issue.
Agreed. It's a known issue and has been repaired by H-D for some tme under warranty and good will. While many of the affected model range bikes hasn't had a problem, that doesn't mean that there isn't a problem or issue for others, and there isn't a defect. Has every single Toyota or Lexus had unintended accelleration? No. Is there a real problem and major recall in effect? Yes.
Seems like an arguement could be made the stress you might put on the seat everytime when backing up. The seat, fender and fender bolt has to be able to take this kind of pressue.
