2014 Vintage, somehow I have lost this screw and the underneath plastic washer from the back fender for the seat/rack. Anyone know the specific size please? Thanks in advance!

Torque values, too?! (sorry, it fell out; so did mine one time!)

Blue Loctite and only very moderate torque required - I would go with 10-15 ft.lbs. max. Nothing critical there except for keeping the bolt on the bike.

Appreciate you sir!

Be careful not to buy one that is overly long. It protrudes the inner surface of the fender and can contact the rear tire when the rear suspension compresses on bumps.

 

[dieselgman]

12 to 15 mm length is acceptable.

Indian will sell you one with a war bonnet on it for $40.00 lol. Seriously they will.

 

[dieselgman]

I will give you one for free at my shop...

They didn't mention that if it protrudes thru your fender too much and you hit a good bump you will need a new rear fender! Only that it may contact the tire.

You can also go to a autozone or similar auto parts store and pick up a plastic pan head body panel fastener. Just pop it in and done.

I lost mine as well,stopped into an indian dealership,asked for one while i was there.
He charged me 10 bucks for it.i paid him for it only because he walked in back to get it.

Hell no. If your battery quits on the road good luck getting the seat off to access the battery.

Hand tighten the Indian OEM seat bolt. Use a small crescent wrench to gently loosen.

If your going to hand tighten it use a spring washer ,that will prevent it from coming loose.

Good point, except no problem if you are also carrying the right tools. Perhaps this is why some folks have lost that fastener.

 

[dieselgman]

You do have battery access without pulling the seat. Charging cable...

my dr said i had a screw missing. never found it.

Mine is stripped. And I don’t want to use Loctite because I take my pavilion seat off which is separate on my ultimate seat. Due to the fact that I ride solo 90% of the time. So I need to re-threaded at some point. I wish there is enough room underneath the fender to get A nut on it but I’m assuming that would rub the tire

 

[dieselgman]

Rethread your existing nut.

Something that I am not near as good about as I should be. I carry a aluminum set of allen keys and an adjustable wrench which might not be enough.
