1/4 X 20 ?
I am not positive but I think most of the HD large bikes have seat screws of 1/4 X 20.

Maybe I'm lucky...
I have no problem with that little un-seeable bolt/Phillips head bolt. I used a small piece of Milk jug I used an about one inch square cut a X in the center and trapped the bolt in between it and mount strap. A long shank Phillips screw driver works great same piece of plastic has been there since 2013 when I read about using it on this forum then. If you position the seat properly it is a simple operation. just sayin...good luck wrench safe Fred

Thats what i did on my 11 T/G.......For the very few times i had the seat off it worked well... And IMO if i made it too easy to remove the seat.....I might have found the seat missing when i parked at the Great Unwashed Parking lot...AKA Walmart...I have no problem with that little un-seeable bolt/Phillips head bolt.

What's the stock length? 1" sounds long?
Doesn't matter, There isn't any thing for the end of the bolt to hit....
