Mick and the rest,
Thanks for all the responses, even you 00wabbit, I know I have a ready market for it if it does not work, which I doubt because I’ll duct tape it on if I have to. I have lusted for this seat for years and I figure I better get it now before these parts become impossible to find.
The pin looks to be the same, just turned around. Mick I hope I do have to shove the seat forward more like you say because right now the scratches show on the gas tank where the stock seat covered and that would also make it easier to remount the latch pin as right now it looks like the latch pin needs to go where the seat pan dishes up.
Looks to be an easy enough job to make it work either way.
The hooks on the seat bottom do hook onto the frame cross-member and then there are wire type hooks on the outside frame rails for the helmets. If the stock seat is not put on right the hooks won’t catch. I think they are there to hold the seat down if a passenger is pulling on the seat strap.
Love this place, great resource, got bimmer.roadfly.org for the BMW autos and this for the bike, good tools.
Matt
