Seat Joiner Mod to Simplify Seat Removal Without Tools

A simple way to eliminate the rider seat oem allen bolts & simplify seat removal is to remove the pressed in flanged metal guide posts inserted into the top of the seat rubber grommets, flip them upside down & bolt them to the seat frame using the allen bolts w/blue locktite. Now the seat can be easily removed & secured in place by positioning the seat grommets over the metal posts. Adding a 3/8" x 5" length of fuel hose with a slit cut in 1 side to attach it to the plastic holder for the allen key located on the back of the seat pan, as seen in the pic, will ensure a tight interface with the leading edge of the passenger seat when locked in place & thus securing the riders seat.
