Custom Quick Release Pins??

[Peregrine Falcon89]

I've been looking for a while for these, and have yet to find them anywhere (especially for a decent price, 60+$ for a piece of 3'' metal just isn't going to do.)

I saw them on one of the busa's at haya's in the hills last year- description:

front seat quick release pins, all black, with the endcap (part that faces outward) having a kanji / "hayabusa" on it.

They looked sweeeeet, and I'd love a set for my bike as long as they aren't >$50 or so.. I can't justify spending exorbitant amounts of money for something so trivial.


If anyone has any insight, or any dealers want to start a group buy, I'd you!


P.S. : I attempted to scour Pashnit's site, couldn't find them though...

So who'd be in for a decent price group buy if we can get one?

Every single one on Ball Z says 08-up for the black with kanji end cap. :/

Not my cup of tea......last thing I want is to make it EASY for thieves to snag my seat.

I have been looking for them myself. They are aircraft pins or something or other. You can get them for like 15 bucks a piece on amazon i have seen which is better than 60 bucks... Still expensive for about a few ounces of metal like you say but they are nice...

Do you have to drill out the threads to use these?

Amazon.com: Jergens 800654 Stainless Steel 17-4 PH Kwik-Lok Button Handle Quick-Release Pin, 3/8" Diameter, 2" Length (Pack of 1): Industrial & Scientific

13 bucks a piece

How do these things work? You just push them and they pop out or what?

 

[RYC1966]

You need a pin with an outer diameter very close to the inned diameter of the hole in teh frame...drilling it to match a pin would be logical...check the length of the pin so that it passes through enough but not excessive. If you drill your commited to that setup.

there are the pins...and then there are quick release screws. I personally am getting those, because they arent as obvious and you can unscrew the seat in about 30 seconds by hand...and they are cheaper.
