    Looking for seat elongated nuts to buy?

    I am looking for those long elongated nuts that attach the bottom of the seat to the actual motorcycle frame on a 1979 Yamaha XS 1100 Special.

    Now before anyone says anything, I have tried everywhere on the internet, and half of the people I call don't know what I am talking about or they don't have it.

    I have tried Yamaha shops and so on.

    I know I could buy a used seat, but that seems to be wasteful, when you factor in shipping.

    So the question stands, does anyone know who might carry these or does anyone have a spare one?

    Thanks,
    79 SF

      elongated nuts

      Bet you could find them at home depot or an electrical supply house.
      I have seen them used to join two pieces of all thread together.
      Might not be metric but just change the bolt .
      better than buying a whole seat!

        Seat Nuts

        Try contacting (send PM) member andreashweiss here on the forum. He would possibly have these.

            I don't think that's the same one Marty. Scroll down on that page you linked and see everywhere that nut applies. I think that one is just one of the attaching nuts for the bracket.

            I believe that long nut he's looking for is originally part of the bracket because the end of the bolt it goes on is spiked so it can't come off.

              I guess it's an assembly.

              Here is what's needed:

                Boy that is expensive

                It may be cheaper in the long run to buy a used seat, seems like overkill.

                Amazing there's not any after market stuff.

                Here's a good diagram of those seat parts, thanks for that part number.

                  So, this thread had my curiosity, so I did a quick Google, and found them to be called "coupling" nuts, for threaded rod as stated above.

                    I could be wrong but IIRC those are 10 x 1.25.

                              I just read for anout 30 minutes on the XJ forum. Apparently the M10 x 1.25 pitch is not really made or seen anymore. Read tons of suggestions such as buying bar stock and tapping your own nuts (don't laugh). Come to think of it, I wonder if I have an extra set in my box of parts???
