    I am not sure if this is the right place for this or not but I am missing the screw for the right side of my seat cowl. It must have been lose and fell out as I was riding it. Anyone know where I can buy new ones or what can be used in place? I Like the look of the bike much more with it on so any ideas would be great. If some one has some extra ones they are selling let me know. Thanks

    I have the sargent quick bolts, quite happy with the convenience. Only drawback is the drilling out of the threads. No going back.

    Thanks Tcarrol for making us all aware of this neat expensive little gadget.

    Drewl,just checking ,but are you sure that you need to drill out the threads to make these adapters work? I was getting an itchy 800 phone number
    finger until I heard that. eddie

    Yeah, Drewl's right you do have to drill out the threads. I'm quite happy with them though. If you wanted to go back to bolts you could re-tap with a slightly larger thread.
    I wouldn't go back though.

    Yup, drilling necessary for the pins to hold.
