With both posts in the holes nice and tight with the locknuts I was ready to try things out. The seat fit so nice right down on top of the posts I just went for a ride and didn't worry about putting any pins in them for a few days! Of course the seat didn't go anywhere, even when I pulled a couple hard wheelies, one of which hit me in the face (OK in the helmet and not really my face) with my windshield it came up so hard.

One of the reasons I didn't put the pins in is that they were .60 cents a pop from OSH!! That's insane! If you go to a hobby store you can get 6 or 10 for $1 / a dollar. Later in the week I went by the Man Toy Store and bought a pile of straight and bent body clips for off-road RC trucks. These are awesome and the bent ones allow you to grab them much easier.

Here you can see bent ones as well as the flat regular ones.


And for your viewing pleasure one more shot of the finished project. Now I can take off my seat in 10 seconds without one word of curse!!


THIS IS A REQUIRED MOD THAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!
