We all know how fun and popular oil threads are, and it is time to freshen up the conversation with seat bolts.
Therefore I give you THE SEAT BOLT THREAD.
Here's a place we can gather and discuss seat bolts.
Here are just a few of the topics to think about.

Seat bolts
Seat bolt colors
Thread, count of seat bolts
Seat, bolt head styles
How you feel knowing you have a seat bolt
Shoes that match your seat bolt
What others think about your seat bolt
Torque values of your seat bolt
Seat bolt flavors
Seat bolts throughout history
Seat bolt pics (pg13 please)
Waterproof seat bolts

I welcome all thoughts and knowledge on this topic. Thank you for your support.

ATTENTION MODS.
Please do not punt any stuff that gets a little off topic here (unless it violates the rules of decorum for this site). We can have a mini stream of consciousness thread here so don't worry, the horse will find its way back to the barn eventually.

You nailed (sorry: bolted) it - looking foreward...
I wonder if there are pro & cons about using a seat bolt at all?

So what you're saying is we must unlearn seat bolts in order to learn seat bolts. The Tao of seat bolts?

Went pragmatic - tool-less, easy screwing & tight

I was formally trained as a seat bolt artist, and I guess it's high time to offer my talents to the world of Seat bolt consumers. I am willing to create personalized seat bolts. Hopefully it will reflect the personality of its user.

Quite true. I have just had an epiphany, and now I realize my true purpose in life.:. It is to provide the world with bespoke seat bolts. That not only do what the original seat bolt does but in a way that personifies it's user. Don't crush my dream bro.

I'm sitting here laughing my butt off, more so because I know I can add fuel to the fire. Thus, I shall.

Well, that’d be nuts! And it would take some balls to start that.

Now that I think about it, @Baloo, wouldn’t that hurt quite a bit?
