Default Anyone know the size of the bolt that holds the seat?
My Electra Glide is missing the screw that holds the seat, does anyone know what size screw it is so I can pick one up. Thanks in advance for the responses.

harley sells a modified one you can remove by hand, beats trying to use a screw driver.

Found this thread (no pun intended) and used it as a reference to buy this:

You can use a screw, or an Allen head screw. I like to use a bolt. Get a 1/4" x 20 x 1/2".
I first used a 3/4" but switched to the shorter. Less chance of hitting tire..

Many hardware stores also have these with little ***** attached for easy on and off.

Agreed, and in stainless steel so it won't rust!
