Default Extended Seat Bolt

I have had problem getting the seat bolt in/out since I got my trike. It's buried behind the seat and recessed just enough to make it a frustration. I'm not sure if I'm the only one that found this to be problem or not, but there is finally an answer. I recently purchased the new Custom Dynamics extended seat bolt and it works like a champ! It is so much easier to deal with!! Just thought I'd share.

Yeah, a little pricey, but I had almost stripped out the stock bolt and was tired of chasing it under the bike everytime I took it out and dropped it. I wonder if it would be even better if they made one that is magnetic?

I've used a magnetized screw driver. Helps a little if you have a steady hand and dont shake off the screw while pulling it out or setting it. After a couple of cups of coffee for me, its not going to happen lol.

I took a piece of a milk jug and made mine a captive screw, no more chasing it around. Goes in and out easily.
