In the WR450 Forum I used to frequent, there was a "What have you done to your bike today" thread is really good for getting ideas for mods or for problem solving. It's also great for posting pics of anything related to riding or working on bikes. Let's get one going here.

I'll kick it off with my hardware store $1.00 seat bolt "through the top" conversion mod for my 12 300. I got my idea from Stu. The bolt is a stainless button head 40mm long same dia and pitch as stock. Two aluminum fender washers and a stainless nylon lock nut. Drilled from under the seat through the existing hole, then screwed bolt and washer down from top using RED Loctite. Then just use the nylon lock nut and other alum fender washer. Works great and that seat isn't coming off because of anything to do with the bolt. There is a fancy kit with anodized red cup washer you can get, but it's hard to beat $1.00 and having it done now and not waiting for shipping.
