Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Quick Release Pins for Seat
« on: September 06, 2017, 08:20:02 AM »
Well I read a huge amount of very helpful information on this site, but never contributed to the group. I purchased a 2017 SR in May this year. One the items that I struggled with is the Torx bolts on the seat when I wanted access to the under pinning below the seat. It seemed like too difficult a configuration for regular access. So I thought I would look for a quick Release Pin to replace the bolt. I have the rear rack kit installed. Here is what I am trying right now and it looks to be working.
https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/72614704 - Gibraltar - 1/4" Diam, 2" Usable Length, Button Handle, Quick Release Pin.
I wrapped the pin with a single layer of black electrical tape to absorb some fit and vibration. It seems to be working for now. I realize it will not work for everyone as it makes the seat too accessible for most people. I am working on a method to secure the pin to the bike without being intrusive.
