A request for seat mounting points....bored are we?

Here's how you remove the seat.



But seriously, this is where it mounts.



Which has this hollow screw assembly that runs through the black plastic section, then through the rear fender and then through the frame. The assembly is made from a rare blend of Chinese aluminum that is one part aluminum and one part cow butter. You will basically cross and strip the threads by looking at it or mentioning it by name. Don't ever remove it, it's not necessary to get the seat off, only to remove the rear fender.



Another screw runs through this assembly and actually holds the seat on. It looks like it should be simple, but you can't see it when you put the seat on, so it's easy to cross thread.



The further you thread the screw in, the further it pokes up your ass, which is why I added an extra long bolt to Felix's bike when I put it back together. Once you do it about 26 times, it's a piece of cake. Another thoughtful piece of engineering is the plastic seat pan sitting directly on the aluminum frame rails, thus making sure all motor vibration is directly transferred to you colon.
