I don't believe I was sent the hardware for mounting the seat to the frame. The whole thing was a little beat up and worn, but I've repainted the frame and mended some spots on the vinyl until I decide to get it recovered. Do you think I could get those parts at like a local hardware store, or am I going to have to find them online like I did the seat?ok went and too pictures for you of the seat, mine is a 99 on a 99....but do not think it would be much different.....

Here's another with the solo:

- September 11, 2013, 12:54:06 PMQuoteok so the seat is not mounted to the frame, I'll have to wait till I get home and can take mine off and get some pictures for you.That's actually the part I've got figured out. I can bolt the frame into place, but my problem is the actual seat. It's not mounted to the frame in any way and I have to put it on seperate. Is it suppose to be mounted to the seat frame? And if so with what? As it is the seat part is pretty much just resting in place

- September 11, 2013, 11:23:58 AM There should be a pair of brackets that come off the seat and go to the frame were there is 4 holes 2 on each side. I am at work and do not have access to my pictures to show them to you. But if you have no response till after I get home I will post them for you.
But if you look on this picture you can see them on the side of the seat.

- September 11, 2013, 10:49:10 AMHello all. I'm new to the board and just got my 800 Drifter yesterday. I have an '05 and have bought an '02 stock two up seat from a lady in Texas. The frame fits perfectly and it has the back rest. My problem is the seat doesn't connect to the frame in any way. There is a metal tab that inserts into the bike under the gas tank, but it doesn't really hold it in place that well. It's very easy to just take the seat of the frame. Am I missing a part, or not inserting the metal tab in correctly? Any help would be appreciated. This is my first bike, and I'm loving it!!
